If mostly for gaming, I'd definitely go with the RX 6650 XT since the cheaper ones hover around $260+. It's 12% faster than the A770 and 18% faster than the A750, although Intel's recent driver updates might've closed the gap a little bit. For how large the A750/A770 die was, they underperform quite a bit so I'd hope they improve all year. If I wanted a new 1080p build today, I'd almost certainly go with the RX 6650 XT at $260 since this year's releases look to be quite demanding.

Benchmarks/relative performance: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...0-xt.c3898

Update: As noted, I'm aware of the driver update that was recently announced. Some people have complained that benchmarks shared put Intel in a bad light and claim the a750/a770 perform much better now but have not provided reputable benchmarks to back up their claims. Few notes here:
- I did not see a single DX9 title as part of Techpowerup's extensive list of benchmarking games. They generally focus on popular, somewhat demanding titles from the last 7 years. Therefore, the DX9 driver improvements alone would not change their ranking at TPU. Also, TPU has updated their relative performance numbers since they have changed since the arc A770's launch review.
- PCWorld just released a small set of updated benchmarks for the arc A770. They have a modest 9 game benchmark that includes a DX9 and DX10 game with the rest being newer DX11/12 titles. Since they didn't provide a summary, I ran the numbers myself. The A770 FPS results comparing launch day to now increased 22.45% overall and 5.95% for DX11/12 games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoKVTt0SQVg

Happy to see DX9 get such a boost and make Intel more competitive, but I'd really rather see improvements for demanding games where 60+ FPS at 1080p can be a struggle with higher settings along with bug fixes.
I purchased one of these a while back and had major driver and crashing issues during games. I ended up returning it. I'll wait until Intel gets better with their drivers...
Probably not a great idea as resizable BAR is mandatory for acceptable performance on ARC. Cutting the bus bandwidth down to 4 lanes and shoving it over a Thunderbolt connection is a ball of wax best avoided IMO.

Is this a good card for a Plex server? I don't game much, but use plex for keeping family videos and blue ray backups. Looking for something that can do the encoding without those super ridiculous priced workstation graphics cards.

I'm not sure about that. I have an asus a320m mobo that I recently swapped from an 1800x to a (used) 3600 which has resizable bar as a bios option. I think that system was about 6 years old?
That's a fair point, to be sure, but I had more of the following in mind:

One of these would be great for my kid's hand-me-down desktop (currently rocking a GTX 460 from 2010). I am interested in giving Intel a shot, but I suspect these 750 (and prob 770) are going to get a lot cheaper.
I'll bet that kid still gets some pretty decent gaming done on that rig. The "old" i5/i7s are such that you could plop in a mid-tier modern card [unicorn, I know] and get quite a bit of utility without having to worry about your progeny effing everything up.

Also: major nostalgia vibes for GTX 460, that card was a mid-tier masterpiece...

This was before the driver update, sooooo:

https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net...ux92AX.png [futurecdn.net]
Even before the driver update, at $250 that is competitive with the likes of a 3060 it seems, the 6650xt seems to be a bit better for the price. But yeah, nice to see what used to be the "midrange price" (now it's the low end) getting a bit of love instead of the constant push at the upper end of the scale where the vast majority of buyers are not shopping.

That said, I did see the posted propaganda numbers from Intel, had to be the first time I saw Stellaris used as a benchmark... like EVER.

I'd love some non-fanboi advice from SD folks. I'm currently using a GTX1080 and it's starting to feel slow. With the driver updates, would this be a significant upgrade? Also, it appears reputable used GTX3080s can be had for around $500. Would that still be a better FPS/$$$ ratio even at twice the price?

I don't care at all about DLSS or Ray tracing. I'm mostly playing dad games @4K (Pathfinder WOTR, DOSII, Factorio, Dyson Sphere Program, ETC.)

Its should do ok from what I have seen.
The A380 should also work well if you're not gaming at about half the cost.

Big Grin

Yeah I'm surprised every time a modern game actually runs on it. Everything else in the rig is more current. He got my Ryzen5 1600 when I upgraded to a 3600 and 16GB DDR4. So the GPU is definitely the bottleneck. Anything above a 2060 would be pretty capable. Intel 750 might be the ticket... under $200 Wink

No. Avoid Intel junk, it's still so raw.
For 1440p/60 gaming - Radeon RX 6700, it's level Arc 770, but Arc 750 cannot give you even 60 fps.
Buying Arc for unstable/glitch work in 1080p in 2023 year? "Smart" idea.

It's official price cut so soon it will be everywhere. 6700xt is 350 so 770 is not competitive. 750 is very competitive at this price point.
The 6650xt is a beast at 260.

And I know they made improvements and are making improvements to the driver's but there's a whole circus of driver issues for them to wrangle in. There are no games on Nvidia or AMD that crash to desktop consistently or won't even open or have horrendous frame drops and micro stutter so severe it should be called macro stutter. If AMD or Nvidia have a game that matters to them that doesn't run silky smooth when it's supposed to and thier competitor does, then they are automatically garbage trash even if the issues are very minor or have already been fixed. There are people that get AMD gpu's just for warzone or Nvidia GPU's just for Fortnite. And people that won't even touch AMD gpu's even if the games they play run better on AMD because they had a bad experience once and vice versa to a lesser degree.

Nvidia hasn't even been able to get optimized for warzone and they are the best. And it took AMD months to fix some micro stuttering and frame drop issues in fortnight.

I'm rooting for Intel and want them to do great for the competition but thinking they are gonna deliver in a timely matter and that the games you want to play won't have issues is a lot of faith in Intel.

Outside of a novelty purchase for benchmarking on a secondary computer to see how things develop or die hard support of Intel, I don't really see the justification for buying this.

Nvidia cards are the best. But it's mostly because of ray tracing and DLSS and there's a price premium. I agree that thier driver support of thier old cards is a bit poor though.

AMD doesn't suck anymore and thier drivers are good, probably because of the consoles. Almost all of thier cards from this generation have been reviewed pretty favorably.

I have a 3080 and my gf has a 6950xt and we play side by side. Hers is significantly faster by a 20-40 percent margin in almost everything we play at 1440p. But it's an unfair comparison because she has a 7600x with ddr5, with SAM turned on and I have a 9 series i7 with ddr4.

You should get a 3080, it's a great card. Or a 6800xt or a plain 6800 they are also great cards and very competitive without ray tracing.

Not sure how much the driver updates worked across the board as there were some pretty huge variations between some games of improvement based on the slides Intel released, but I'd almost want to say this is more of a sidegrade maybe slightly up again depending upon those specific games. If your 1080 is acceptable at 4k there's no reason to upgrade with this in my view.

Arc has a bright future. I am ready to buy an A770 16GB at $300. It'll be decent enough and I'm ready to take one for the team to end the GPU duopoly.

bad takes, with stuff like ai, gpu is here to stay or intel will have to quit everything.

I think someone reasonable could be purchasing an ARC card based on it's future potential given Intel has a lot of room for improvement with drivers vs a card that has been out 2-3 years and is probably close to its limits. I wouldn't buy one right now (I went AMD) since I care more about the current performance, but maybe people think Intel will make rapid progress or are on a longer timeline.
There is nothing reasonable in that - in high tech you get what you buy. People and projects turnover is so high, that you can't expect something to be supported beyond a year or two. Usual layoff cycle is every two years. If Intel axes the teams that are designing or supporting its ARC cards, these things turn into bricks immediately. Even if Intel wants to hire back someone to fix it in several months, the people behind will be long gone to some other greener pastures.
