With the driver updates the A750 outperforms both those cards.
Go look at a recent GPU review like Gamers Nexus' 4060 Ti review, and youll see that in nearly every benchmark the A750 is ahead of the 3060 and 6600 xt. Raw FPS aside, the A750 outperforms the 6600 XT in RT and in trading blows with the 3060. You also get AV1 encoding, which neither of those cards can do, and better H.264 encoding quality and speed than the competition too.
Now dont get me wrong, the card isnt perfect. Nvidia still has the best drivers and AMD has a better control panel, but those drivers are also so mature that you wont see continual gains in performance like we have with Arc.
Finally, go look at how Nvidia and AMD are pricing their new generations of GPUs, and how bad some of them are (like the 4060 Ti). I am happy to support a third company, that has competitive products (low-midrange) because I'm sick of AMD and Nvidia trying to milk us. I already bought an A750 for my brothers build and have been happy with it.
Found this on reddit regarding the high idle power consumption:
"Intel has already said that this issue cannot be fixed by software. It's rooted in the architecture of the chip. They said the issue will be addressed in the next generation of Arc, maybe the Alchemist+ refresh or the Battlemage."
I read a re-review on this thing just yesterday. There are still some lingering compatibility issues, but this thing otherwise hangs with RTX 3060 ($300) and RX 6600 ($210). I think I would probably go with the RX 6600 if it were me, if just for the compatibility reasons, but the A750 is a lot stronger in ray-tracing performance (if you care about that in a $200 card).
Either way, it's nice to see $200 cards that run modern games well at 1080p.
Don't buy this card. I'm a big PC building enthusiast. Built a PC for my 7year old son with an A750. I'm now looking to replace this card with something from Nvidia. Card crashes all the time, my son mainly plays Fortnite and Minecraft. Really annoying, don't waste your money imo.
After checking the reviews at Newegg etc., it seems like this is rare and if it happens usually a combo of user error or unlucky hardware.

Well, you should enthuse yourself into seeing what's wrong. This card runs Fortnite very well. Plenty of videos showing how Fortnite and the ARCs do. Not sure about Minecraft. It does have problems with some older games but a simple Google search usually shows workarounds for games that are still popular today. BIOS upgrades usually fixes a lot of players problems.

old review so maybe its fixed:
"As noted in the A770 LE review, idle power draw on the Arc GPUs was also quite a bit higher than the competition. Where the RTX 3060 used 15W and the RX 6650 XT only needed 7.3W on average while idle, we measured power use of 45.1W on the A750 LE. Intel says it's aware of the issue and is working to address it, so hopefully a future driver update can curb the idle power use. Related to this, the fans on the Arc cards generally don't fully stop, or at least stay fully stopped, due to the higher idle power use."

Yeah, the idle power issue is the blocker for me. You could argue just turn off the machine when not using it/gaming, but when venturing off the beaten path I have higher expectations I guess.

yeah that is true but for me this would go in my work pc that plays some games later in the day so its on a lot. Its also my home media server.

When was the last time you updated the drivers?

It's doesn't run well, crashes all the time on Minecraft and Fortnite
Fwiw, have a770 since launch,and never had more than the occasional freeze in the first month. I play Fortnite, Forza, Minecraft, but predominantly FS and it's a charmer. Maybe I got lucky. Then again, use for games is maybe 10%
Let's not all praise Intel too much yet - hardly an underdog. 2024, and 2025 onwards will be the years they will show their true colors. Will they remain blue and friendly? Or will they either be green and greedy, or red and evil?

I pretty much lost interest in getting this...

Also has AV1 encoding which at this price is kind of a big deal.
Here's a Reddit thread and a review of the card:
