The Intel Arc A750 makes the RTX 3050 look pathetic and even gives some tough competition to the 3060, though AMD's RX 6600 makes Intel's offering a little less enticing. Still, it's good to see competition from Intel in the GPU space.

Your comment cannot be blank.

Hoping Intel keeps making cards. Competition is good for everyone (except AMD and Nvidia).
They aren't dropped the GPU business. They already have a couple generations coming out over the next couple of years. They have reported they are selling more GPUs. And their drivers have gotten a lot better.
Nope. I work for a company that get lots of Intels test business. GPU business not going away...if anything, its a big part of their future lol. They made the right moves attacking the affordable sector first to iron their kinks out. Arc was never meant to be a big hit off the bat, nobody shouldve ever expected that. The improvements theyve made "thus far" have been more than impressive. Battlemage is where the big guns will be revealed. Theyll still be behind by that time, but it will rival current gen of high end cards from the competition sans 4090. You gotta root for them because both amd and nv really suck these days regarding pricing and need to be humbled.

would this be a sideways move for someone who has a 2060? Asking for a friend
20% faster generally. Also depends on the platform it's being installed on. I wouldn't upgrade unless there was something specific.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-s...2060.c3310 (Maybe it keeps getting better, maybe it gets nerfed with a security fix.)

Performance is better now, but still seems to oscillate between 3050 and 3060 Ti levels.

Quote from tjmini-note :
Many who did not expect Intel to make graphics cards like these were already feed up with bad intel drivers when Vista was released; with luck those who experiment with these cards will fare better.
Arguably, they have been the #1 graphic company of all time seeing as their integrated graphics are in almost all their CPUs.

Where have they exited the SSD business? I just got a 2TB NVMe and pretty sure they're still doing enterprise storage.

Edit: Genuinely curious
Sold flash business to SK Hynix, including enterprise, and products now sold under Solidigm brand.

I gave the 'deal' a thumbs up but don't see the appeal of the Intel GPU. I think they will soon drop the graphics cards product line just like they exited from the SSD business.

It was the opposite of the crypto mining craze, as their cards were never designed for mining. They were attempting to be an alternative when cards were going through the roof during covid or couldn't be found. Unfortunately, they entered the market later than anticipated.

Improved a lot since launch. Probably worth it at this price.

Would like to see more GPU priced in this range instead of stupid prices from AMD/Nvidia. Missed the good ol days when high tier cards cost <$300

I mean, not HIGH tier, but you could at least get something decent at the $300 range. My last new card was 970 and it was in that range.... I had that for years and would probably still have it if I hadn't scored a lucky deal on a used 1080ti. I still have that and no plans to upgrade any time soon. I mean ray tracing is cool and all but it's a gimmick with a massive price tag.

Skip this one, but I think Intel will be a player in the low/mid market for sure. This one should be a sub $200 card in my opinion.

Quote from Sysop :
I don't ever remember GPUs being integrated into motherboards and I don't remember Intel ever making motherboards.

Are you familiar with the terms "northbridge" and "southbridge"?

There was a long period where CPUs didn't have memory controllers built in, so you'd have a chipset called the northbridge which the CPU would talk to in order to communicate with the RAM.

Before PCI Express, there was also a different kind of interface called AGP which was the absolute fastest way a top end graphics card could achieve a high bandwidth connection. This was also something the northbridge handled.

Eventually, they had enough room on the northbridge to also add a low performance GPU (iGPU).

These days, all of that is integrated into the processor, so no northbridge is needed.

Now, the southbridge (which still exists, we just don't call it that anymore) would handle all your interfacing with PCI cards (sound card and modem were two very popular components) as well as USB and sometimes it included the storage controller, so your hard drive and CD-ROM drive would also go through this.

They'll probably make one more generation, but after that I think they'll exit the consumer GPU market too. They split the professional GPU and consumer GPU business, it's pretty know that they dive intend to keep both.

How is this compared to a 6600xt/6650xt which has gone on sale for not much more?

Older games are not going to be close but how about dx12?

I used to consider the XX70/ti as high end and anything above that as enthusiast because price to performance falls off a cliff above that range. Nowadays, the 70 cards are priced like enthusiast cards and are not much better than the 80 in terms of price to performance.

Bad takes, gpu compute is the future, if they quit this they quit computing all together with.

Data centers are now filled with as many high end gpus as cpus.

They were slow on the uptake, but now its a death race, all or nothing.

You don't count intel out, their r&d budget dwarfs amd's and nvidia's combined.

I couldn't agree more with everything you said.
