Intel's $200 Arc A750 GPU is the best budget GPU by far
- andrewstuart 3y agoThe full title of the article is "Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti and AMD's RX 7600 highlight one thing: Intel's $200 Arc A750 GPU is the best budget GPU by far". Finally there's a little competition in the GPU market. Without Intel Arc at $200, our only choices right now at this end of the GPU market would be: USD$400 Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti USD$300 AMD RX 7600 Maybe if and when Intel develops some real GPU's capable of competing with Nvidia we'll see the end of the price gouging. AMD isnt't bothering to compete with Nvidia, it's just following along, copying and gouging slightly less. These new cards from Nvidia and AMD are getting absolutely terrible reviews - this is the price of lack of competition.
- rektide 3y agoIt's also notable that Intel keeps getting faster. The other folks have been tuning their drivers for decades & Intel, with a brand new chip, has been making their current two cards significantly faster since launch.

- sinuhe69 3y agoFrom now on, I don’t think anybody would buy a GPU just for games, but also for AI (training and inference). Thus, the question is how good is the Arc in this field?
- ColonelPhantom 3y agoHardware-wise it should be pretty good, given that Intel has XMX instructions for matrix multiplication. But the software tends to be quite young and immature. Also, for AI you often want lots of VRAM. The A750 has just 8 GB, which is the same as other lower-end GPUs. The A770 has a 16 GB version, which I think is the cheapest 16GB GPU, with AMD's RX 6800 a distant second.
