That's not true anymore :) The ARC A750 sits between the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT. The 6600 is a bit cheaper, but significantly slower. The 6650 XT is faster, but also more expensive. When (and if) Intel improves the driver more it will definitely be the better deal.
Nvidia has no card in this price segment that is remotely worth considering.
So while the initial reviews were negative, the ARC A750 does get recommended as an option now.
But: One has to be okay with the fact that picking the ARC is a bit of a gamble, needs a processor/platform that supports resizable bar, and under Linux the card is slower than the 6600 even with rBar. So there are definitely reasons to get the AMD cards instead, but the A750 is absolutely worth considering by now.

- ummonk 3y agoYeah I checked benchmarks for the A750 when speccing out a budget gaming computer for a friend in India, and the A750 handily beats out competitor cards at that price point.
- girvo 3y agoAlso, the A750 or A770 handily destroy the RX 6600/6650 in path tracing! They are much more capable cards, just held back by nascent drivers, sadly.
