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.

Current drivers are significantly better than launch ones. Performance is between 6700XT and 3070 levels in a lot of newer games, and at worst around 6650xt levels.
If you enable ray tracing Arc blows RDNA2 out of the water, as the RT performance is RTX 3000 levels/ RDNA3 levels. For example here is Hogwarts Legacy 1440p RT, no upscaling:

XeSS is a much better upscaler than FSR, but can do both XeSS and FSR.
The XMX cores accelerate AI application use, like upscaling in Gigapixel AI and GANs. It's not as widespread adopted as CUDA, but better than what AMD offerings in AI performance.
Encoding quality and performance is the best in the industry, Quicksync is better than NVENC and both are better than AMD, even on their newest flagships. The A750 also supports AV1 encoding, which neither RDNA2 or RTX 3000 support (you have to pay $800+ for their latest GPUs to get this).
The more expensive A770 was tested. The A750 is about 10% slower in raster https://www.techpowerup
This price bracket/tier of GPU is fine for 1080p on current games (no RT) or 1440p (no RT) on older and less demanding games. The RX 6600 XT/RTX 3060 commonly shows up as the recommended GPU for 1080p (no RT) on recent releases so I wouldn't rely on anything in this tier for 1440p or RT moving forward.
That said, $230-250 is within reason given pricing of the competition. Hopefully Battlemage can go up a few tiers and fix the higher than expected power draw at idle and load. Going up 2 or more tiers, then more people would care about RT.
Btw, another updated review from Techtesters specifically for the A750 (including power draw): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYb5PhP
The 6700xt would be the card @ $250 but the pricing is not their yet. Waiting 2-3 months for the 4060 and AMD midgrade 7 series cards is the best bet.
Amiga 3000T with the Video toaster was the shit. It would of been amazing to see where the Amiga would have landed had commodore not dice rolled the company for that ridiculous CD32 to go against Sega.
Even new rx 6600 goes on sale cheaper than this. You don't have to buy used. You can get a 6650xt in this price range new.
The question is, what are the benefits of this Intel GPU over a 6650xt? I'm open minded and I agree with the idea of supporting competition in the GPU space, but it has to make sense.

With the newer drivers most testing seems to put the Arc750 in between the 66xx XT and 67xx cards performance wise... and at 1440p the Intel seems to get nearer the 67xx than the 66xx cards.
It also beats the hell out of comparable AMD cards in ray tracing- though I dunno how much you're doing of that in this price class anyway and if RT is a huge deal to you you prob still want Nvidia?
So it's a reasonable buy in that sense (prob a touch moreso if looking at 1440p), and supporting more competition can be your cherry on top of that I suppose.

I benchmarked the RX 6600 XT, RX 5700 XT, and 3060 Ti over the past year. Based on what I'm seeing on more demanding games (Forspoken, Hogwarts Legacy, Witcher 3 next gen etc), I'd say the Arc A750, RX 6600 and similar are only going to be consistent at 1080p raster high/ultra for newer releases. Forspoken in particular was only running at 50 fps at 1080p high on an ultrawide on the RX 5700 XT (about same as RTX 3060 and Arc A750, per techpowerup).

I have a Ryzen 3700x but on a motherboard that doesn't support ReBAR and the A750's performance is noticeably worse than with the Radeon 6650xt at 1080P.
