Intel Graphic Cards

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.

This. Id say 16+

It's king in mmos

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.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you an update. After some deep introspection during a unique vision quest, I decided to go with the Intel Arc A770. The journey was, well, unconventional—I found myself in a Finnish sauna (cheap flights, by the way) and had a vision. At first, I saw the RTX 4070. It seemed promising, but then the vision took a turn: the 4070 somehow brought about an alternate timeline where everything got wildly out of hand. In contrast, I could sense another option, a rival force—the Arc A770—standing strong.

In the vision, it symbolized harmony and resilience, and that’s when I knew Intel was the right choice for me. The Arc A770 performs decently for gaming, but more importantly, it just felt right. And on a final note, Nanfoodle, no matter how elaborate my stories get, they’ll always have more soul than your highest achievement. But seriously, take care, everyone!

Appreciate everyone’s input here really helpful to see the range of experiences. I’ve been watching the Arc A770 closely myself, and honestly, if the price is right and you’re not pushing 4K ultra settings, it’s not a bad option.

Intel’s definitely still catching up with drivers, but they’ve made solid progress. For someone not tied to the usual brands, it’s refreshing to see a third option in the GPU space. I’d say if you’re curious and willing to tinker a bit, it’s not crazy to buy Intel graphic cards just go in with realistic expectations.

That said, I’m also keeping an eye on what Battlemage brings. Could be an exciting year ahead for GPU options all around.

Rx 9070 xt is the best value for mid term gaming right now and for the forciable future

Current Global economy and supply and MSRP wonkyness aside, As of right now the 9060XT 16gb is the lowest I would purchase new retail. I would forgo anything with 8gb VRAM or less new. Intel cards like the B580 are just not viable/available at current prices.

Below the 9060XT 16GB I would honestly go used/second hand market.

Thanks to the current markups the 9070 non XT is actually not a bad deal. Personally upgraded to 1 after selling my RX6800. Under 250watts so no need to upgrade mu PSU or use the melting 12VHPWR connector.

Pretty happy with the card but have not tested in in AOC to compare to my now sold RX6800.

The 9070XT is so close to current 5070ti prices (USA) that I would probably get the NGreedia GPU just for the wider range of DLSS suported games, but FSR4 is pretty close in terms of similar performance. Also Ray Tracing...but I turn that off as the performance hit is not worth it for me. Its up to personal preference. I don't even like upscaling that much, but its almost mandatory at this point with new games.

Frame Generation is trash might look smooth but play like molasses.

Diminishing returns after the 5070ti.
