2 days ago I have requested a price match to the deal for utilizing my amex offer.
Seems approved just now.

Got one for graphics
Got one for computer
Can i come have a look at it?
Got one just because everyone is getting one
Got one because Fomo
Got one as may become collector's item next year.
Got one for my coffee machine
Got one for irony
Price is Limited, Performance is Limited
manufacturing also limited
Limited Edition?
Limited? I better get one
Stock might also be limited
Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation
apparently the glue and double sided tape isn't limited. lol
Number of comments seem to be unlimited.
It should include the game. There’s a banner in the description advertising it
Modified, thanks!
They seem to changed the banner as well
when is arc a770 going to get good price drops
from what i have been reading, the 770 is not even worth getting for that 9% increase in performance for a couple more hundred dollars…. at that price point you could be better off with something else.
at that price point you could be better off with something else.
That's why we want price drops!
i guess you can also price watch the water cooling blocks ekwb is making for these lot.
the current cards seems to have potential thermal issues based on the teardowns i've seen.
while it still doesnt justify the price difference, good to be mindful about newer games eating up 8gb pretty quickly
good call out about the memory.
Sucks that it's only the A770 LE that has the full go of VRAM and the AIBs only have the 8.
I got one from the last deal and can confirm it runs very well on linux for my server encoding needs!
For almost $400, it better bloody encode well.
Hardware av1 on plex is pretty awesome!
I thought Plex (still) only transcoded to h.264
@ArgentLynx: I should have clarified, I’m in the process of converting my library to av1 with handbrake and stream them with Plex
What kernel?
6.1 on fedora, still need the flag, wont need it from 6.2 onwards
How do you encode your videos?
I assume you are not using Plex because last time I checked this card wasn’t supported.
timestamp 10 minutes earlier
Hardware av1 on plex is pretty awesome!
:thinking: sus
It is supported
Was about to pull the trigger but stop because it does not have fan stop and power consumption is not ideal compared to AMD / Nvidia
i have a 1070 8gb. my mobo and cpu are pretty top end same with 32gb of ram. will this be a upgrade or a downgrade? id love to support them due to another competitor but dont want to downgrade. TY
upgrade, this performs a lot better than a 1070
On youtube, an A750 is on par with a 3060ti. idk what that benchmark is on about.
@Inyokuchi: Does # of samples on that benchmark table means how many cards have done the benchmark? 20 seems like far too few to make a call on.
Especially if they were done using early driver releases.
Edit: sorry replied to wrong person
As a rule, upgrade when it is a 50% performance increase. I doubt this card will give you 50% increase over 1070
What about a R9 380 lol, thinking about a 6600/xt/6700 (on pcie3) or a used 1660 as well.
It does give a way more than 50% increase on newer directx 11/12 games like cyberpunk/doom eternal, even in general it is 50% faster than a 1070, source: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-arc-a750/32.html, compare with 1660 super which performs similar to a 1070, and that was with launch drivers
Gaming seems better for most games.
But I'm more worried about software support such as Adobe Premiere Pro. Looked in one video and with the arc, guy didn't have live rendering/preview and it offloaded most stuff to the CPU - which resulted in lag or blank previews. Whereas on the nvidia, all worked fine.
So yeah I'm a bit wary of buying something 1st gen…
The price looks good. If this was 5 years back, I would definitely buy it but now I'm more of a work guy lol. I don't game as much.
If you are using production software or machine learning NVIDIA is far & away the best choice. CUDA is used by so many things compared to OpenCL & other GPU acceleration frameworks, I guess CUDA is easier to get high performance out of?
Definitely Cuda is better and has a lot of software support for various applications.
Lucky you got the pricematch. Perth was useless. They wouldn't match a competitor even though umart had the same price as the competitor only two days earlier.
They quoted the usual that stock thus price fluctuates but I'm pretty sure they didn't sell out and restock 43" monitors at $150 bigger purchase cost in two days.
There was other spiel too but it couldn't have actually applied to my request.
Rofl. And today it's back to the pricematch price i requested. rollseyes.
stock of the in-person retailer depends on the price of a competitor?
😿
Cue the "no stock" responses after quoting a lower price
Do you have the original context of this thread after it was uncommented
If anyone is interested it performs similar to an RTX 3060 on average at 1440p
https://youtu.be/XTomqXuYK4s?t=818
Do they have a version of ray tracing???
We should buy this just to show Nvidia.
I agree… you first.
And amd
Is this worth upgrading from 1660GT ?
This performs around *maybe a little slower then a RTX3060 RX6600/6600XT
I may try intels graphics cards in the future but not first gen :)
I'm bummed that Battlemage is so far off, RT performance was surprisingly good for a first go so I'm excited to see what the future holds
seems Intel Arc trying hard and going hard,looking forward to seeing how they go, moving forward:)
I would avoid Intel gpus for now, drivers are terrible from reviews
That would be a review done ages ago with what is now an old driver back when it was terrible.
Yep latest reviews show good stability and much faster DX9 performance.
December update has already really improved performance.
I bought the Intel A770 from Umart and picked up Call of Duty and my pick of 3 out of 5 graphics/multimedia programs. Four of the programs were time limited.
I then signed up with Intel Arc Insiders and immediately received an email offering me Gotham Knights, Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed and the new (yet to be released) Settlers game.
As to the card itself I would say that it was comparable to my previous Nvidia 2070 Super card in speed but with double the RAM.
I can play at 3840x1600 fullscreen and have had only a few minor issues with it.
For under $600, I consider it a bargain.
I just received my A750 and was wondering how you were able to receive the call of duty master key? I don't think I was provided one. Also how did you sign up for Intel Arc Insiders?
Thanks in advance!
Got the game for full price… RIP
$50 more and Shopping Express has a Galax RTX3060 with free shipping.
https://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/galax-geforce-rt-3060…
doesnt stack with amex offer and you probably get less dramas with warranty with umart.
or $80 more to get RX 6700 10gb from umart or shopping express. closer to RTX 3060ti performance.
true good point
That’s the garbage 8GB version
I would not buy that card for the deceptive naming alone.thats the 3060 8gb version performs worse than a normal 3060 and even the a750
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPbIsxIQb8M&t=464shttps://ww…The 3060 8gb has:
17% worse performance in 1080p than a standard 3060 12gb
18% worse in 1440p than a standard 30602% slower than an arc a750 in 1080p
14% slower than an arc a750 1440pOr 2nd hand 3060 for $300 on FB marketplace.
what happened to their killer pricing, 3060's still over inflated but the intel stuff isnt much cheaper
Because that's actually a 3050 Ti named a "3060 8GB".
Unfortunately "killer pricing" still means "double normal prices" right at the moment.
Possible to buy this and sell the game? Is it boxed or just a code?
Not a physical copy. people do buy the game, saw a few on the ozb classifieds looking to buy a few weeks ago.
Yeah but can it run Rocket League? ;)
Intel needs to solely focus on this mid range market and this price point, let AMD and Nvidia be greedy.
Eh, bring on competition at all price points. Always welcome.
How's everyone's purchase?
I'm really beginning to regret my purchase after only a day of use.
I've had frequent crashes in Windows 11 both when using normally and in games.
The hardware is also disappointing with some pretty bad coil whine under load.
Also thermal throttling with stock settings (190W power limit). Probably not entirely the card's fault, I'm using it in an NZXT H1 but no other cards have had thermal issues this bad.
Final gripe is the high idle power draw (~40W) which keeps the case quite hot all dayI expected the software to be not great but frequent hard crashes are a bit much.
The hardware is a bigger disappointment with problems cooling and the coil whine
Keen to hear other's experiences, maybe mine is faulty?i had a feeling that the asrock one has better thermal cooling but i've seen people hack in coolers on the back plate to reduce a couple of degrees down.
I found that the crashing is likely caused by the PCIe riser since setting it to Gen 3, it no longer crashes.
Temperatures are still a problem thoughi think these cards run hot by design (not because they are designed to be hot)…. so you probably need to go the "warranty sticker removal" route to get a reasonable amount of thermal control.
specifically for the intel FE variants, looking at GN teardown, it feels like a hot mess to repair. i've read somewhere that someone just stuck a cpu fin cooler to increase the surface area and they managed to bring it down total temps..
i found out that my system doesn't like rebar being enabled, and went pear shaped.
also is it possible your PCIe riser cable isn't really PCIe 4? idk. just a random stab in the dark.
Seems like a really decent deal if you don't care about Ray Tracing, but really at this point in time it's still a gimmick in very few games.
A video card for under $400 seems like a bargain.
Got one for display
