B&H Has the Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 OC For $319.99 with coupon automatically applied and Free Shipping.

Prices of the A770 may see some fluctuation up as Intel today officially stopped making the in house 16gb variant of the card so only third party models will be available going forward like this one.

About This Product
    Product Name: Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 OC Graphics Card
    Product Description: Based on the Xe HPG microarchitecture and designed to handle the graphical demands of 1440p gaming, the Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 OC Graphics Card brings the power of raytracing and upscaling to your PC games. The GPU features 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 256-bit memory interface, offering performance and power efficiency.
    The Arc A770 graphics card features Xe Super Sampling (XeSS), which is AI-enhanced upscaling powered by hardware acceleration. Enjoy high-res visuals with added performance. Pair your Arc A770 with a select Intel Core processor to take full advantage of Intel Deep Link technology, which provides performance and efficiency across a wide variety of workloads.
    The front panel of the card features a variety of outputs, such as DisplayPort 2.0 and HDMI 2.1. For cooling, Acer implemented two fans. The 5th Gen Aeroblade 3D blower-style fan features an all-metal, thin design and is custom engineered for airflow. The axial Frostblade 2.0 fan has 92mm arc-shaped blades for high static pressure and minimal vibration. The fans work together to maximize airflow and air dispersion. There is also a vapor chamber that streamlines airflow by circulating it quickly and efficiently. You'll be able to monitor your BiFrost card, control fan speeds, and customize RGB lighting with the Predator BiFrost Utility app.

    I purchased one of these last week. Really liked the card and the performance overall however I've sent it back. Unfortunately most of the time my card would not increase the speed of the fans as the temperature increased. Ultimately it would hit 90°C+ go into protection and lockup my computer requiring a reboot. Randomly the fans would function properly and I could even use the Arc control software to setup a curve or the Acer Predator software to set a constant fan speed. It worked fine and never overheated when the fans worked properly. No amount of reinstalling or DDU cleaning fixed the issue. I even manipulated settings in the java files, per online research, in the Arc control with no improvement.

    The fan issue is a known problem, perhaps caused by drivers, hardware or both. Either way its not effecting everyone who buys this card. I'd not want to dissuade anyone from trying an A770 as I think the hardware shows lots of potential. The drivers leave much to be desired however. I'll let things mature a bit before giving Intel discrete GPUs a try again. Anyway just be prepared for potential pitfalls if you buy one of these.

    Yeah they are working on Driver constantly. They are far from perfect but have made massive bounds and leaps since launching. The fact that Nvidia is so horrible with the 4000 series and AMD has yet to show if they are going to do the same leaves them in a unique place.

    Also the Arc cards do awesome in productivity stuff. Be it Adobe, or different video editing or graphics software. Also the encoding of AV1 also gives them a one up at least on last gen cards in the similar price bracket. I have also heard Linux gamers are pretty happy with the Arc cards as well.

    Unless you need the 16GB VRAM, or want this for the novel cooler (good for SFFPC's), the Arc A750 at around $200 is the far better deal, its very close in performance except in situations where you exceed the 8GB of VRAM, but for gaming that's rare since these are midrange cards and you really wouldnt be playing 4k ultra on them.

    Not sure where you heard they work great with Adobe products. It's fairly well acknowledged that they do not work well with LR or PS AI- based actions - about the only time the GPU is used. Further Intel has already knowledged that these cards are not optimized and plan to use their experience to put out cards with better performance and compatibility in the next gen, if there will be one. It's unfortunate because the cards show promise, but were released half-baked.

    Not really true anymore. LOA and Jedi Survivor can pull 10gb+ of vram in 1080p max settings. Few more years and I'm sure more AAA titles will.

    Still over priced for what you get.

    I would stick to AMD or Nvidia if looking for a gaming card.

    Intels cards do have some video encoding advantages. But the lower end, and much cheaper, intel cards will do the same thing as this if that is all you need.

    I think they meant to say LOU, The Last of Us. It's the only other game I know of that pulls over 8 GB of VRAM.
