I am so confused by all of these comments/articles, they're clearly created before actual benchmarks have come out (and also seem to have no real world experience with intel GPUs, etc).
Intel Arc cards are dead in the water because they have extremely unusably unstable drivers. To the point of the word "broken" being applicable. This hasn't gotten better with the A750 (in fact, it's gotten worse it seems?).
The 4090 is extremely expensive, but it is ludicrously stupidly comically powerful. It's 10x-20x more powerful than a 2080, nearly 100% more powerful than a previously more expensive MSRP 3090ti and this is BEFORE DLSS3, which is not a gimmick. Check out the GN review of the 4090, the metrics are ridiculous. F1 at 4k gets 230 FPS vs 135 for a 3090ti and 41 for the 2080. Total War at 1440p gets 235fps vs 135 for a 3090 ti and 47fps for a 2080.
Yes, its extremely expensive, but it's Nvidia's HERO card. You're going to see downward movement with the 4080 models (one basically being a 4070 in disguise) next month.
These cards are too powerful for anything out there today (they do cyberpunk at 4k at 80fps without DLSS and 135 fps with it) but this is a card you buy if you're looking at 3-5 year upgrade cycles.
Comparing this card to Intel's Arc is crazy. It's like comparing a Ferrari to a Civic. They both serve a purpose, but their markets are completely different.
That being said, I bet you the 4090 will outsell the intel arc 750 by a stupidly large margin. It has to suck if you spent $2000 MSRP on a 3090ti in March though.
