Hey Gang!
I currently have an Nvidia 1660 super and was gonna upgrade to a 3070, but a friend suggested i look into intels newer line of Arc graphics cards.

does anyone here have experience running ash’s with an intel Arc? I’m looking at the 770.

Would love any info!

    Arc is not worth anyone's time yet. 3070 is what's my wife is using and it does a stellar job.

    Have you had a bad experience with intel?

    Intel is just no where near AMD and GeForce level. No one beats green team for drivers. Intel's results are all over the place. They are a few years away from competing.

    Gotcha thank you!

    The intel GPUs are working in about 99% of most games these days. They can represent some decent value for money. They are ok GPUs if the price is right.

    I'd personally wait till start of next year as there some new GPUs planned for release. I'm personally waiting for the AMD RX8800XT price/performance

    If you're planning to use a 1440p display don't bother with any GPU that has less than 12gb of vram.

    At the very least wait until next month for Intel's new Battlemage lineup to release and hopefully get some good reviews. If you can't wait, the 3070 will do fine too of course, if you can get a good deal.

    I have intel GPU on two of my PCs (I don't play on them). When I tried to install AoC - got DirectX 12 error (you can read more about this in bugs discussions), I don't know if is this is related, though.

    That's the problem, it's the software and drivers. They are years behind AMD and GeForce.

    Ashes recommended is 3070 or better. That's has 8gb of VRAM. Just to put things in perspective :)

    IMO the v best you can do for your money is full AMD right now.
    Those X3D chips combined with a 12gb+ AMD GPU... play Ashes on perfect

    I'm playing on a 4070 and it runs like butter. Almost anything current gen will but Arc. Last gen there are some good deals.

    At 4k my 16gb RX6800 is using over 12gb of vram with all textures and shaders maxed.

    I agree that 16gb will probably live longer as more newer game titles have higher demands.

    12gb is the minimum for 1440p going forward.

    8gb should cost no more than $200 and be considered low end 1080p.
