Intel Arc A770 16GB $548: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/266004892883 (insufficient quantity item, removed from title — mod)
RX 6700: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/265981213284
Intel Arc A770 Series (Boost: 2100MHz), 16GB GDDR6 (17500MHz), PCI-E 4.0 x16, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0, Alchemist
Sapphire PULSE AMD Radeon RX 6700 (Boost: 2581MHz), 10GB GDDR6 (16000MHz), PCI-E 4.0, 1x HDMI 2.1, 3x DisplayPort 1.4, Dual-X Cooling, AMD RDNA 2
I have the RX 6700 non XT, Best Value GPU given it's price (been cheaper than this before) smashes through 1440p high settings no worries.
Sapphire is the best AMD AIB, it's like the EVGA for AMD
good price, good deal
The point still stands though
Is A770 $90 better than RX6700 performance wise?
Gaming wise. I don’t think so. Unless you are going to wait for the ‘driver updates’, that’s not to say Intel didn’t provide any good updates for them-the last dxvk one provided significant performance update to dx9 titles- it’s just currently they lose out on performance and you are buying for the ‘eventuality’ that they may become better.
The RX6700 is approx 15% faster then the A770

currently true but apparently Intel is releasing a major drive update soon.
Never buy on a maybe.
No, it's worse than the 6700 performance/general driver wise.
I need a GPU for my AM5 ITX build.
Other than the NZXT H1 case, I haven't purchased any other parts.
Thoughts on the A770 over the 6700?
Wouldn't be going with either of these with AM5. Spend a bit more on a 6800xt (or wait for 7700xt when it eventually comes out)
I bought an Arc A750 for my NZXT H1. It thermal throttles (90 deg C) at stock power limit (190W). It is pretty warm in the room I’m running but I think cooling isn’t great. Would not recommend the reference Arc cards for a H1
Is the Intel Arc A770 better than my RX6600XT?
A little bit, it tends to get around 6700 XT framerates. I think productivity is a bit of a different story but I don't do any GPU heavy workloads so I haven't looked into it much. I don't think it's worth upgrading so soon, and if you really wanted to you'd be better off with a RX 7000 or RTX 40 card.
A bit, but nowhere near enough to be worth upgrading.
Let’s buy just to show up Nvidia.
NASDAQ: AMD 🚀 🌝
somehow I feel like AMDs reliance on tsmc will hurt them in the long run given the unstable geo politcal situation over there, intel have their own fabs and is making new ones in the states with us govt. subsidy. Once that's done and dusted and that they can take on production for other companies they will come back stronger than ever before even if current earnings seems a steadly drop over each quater
TSMC are spending USD 40b on new fabs in the US.
@SolitaryMan: 40 billion? when did that happen? jesus thats double what intel is doing. how much capital does tsmc hold to pay for that?
@SolitaryMan: true they dont need 40b upfront, but thats still astromical considering thats double what intel have on right now
You could say the same for Nvidia. In fact even Intel is relying on TSMC at the moment, they don't make the dies for the ARC cards in house.
They can always move production out of Taiwan, Samsung's FABs are better than Intel at the moment.
In a perfect world with imperfect weather and climate, all the major chip companies would pool their cash and resources and work together to create 'combined' fabs for their manufacturing across different geographical locations (such as one plant in Europe, one in Asia (maybe even Oceania/Australia?) and one perhaps in Africa or in the Americas).
Each would produce 25% of the total global market (for all semiconductors) and in the event of a disruption due to natural disasters, outbreaks, alien invasions, flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, zombie Apocalypse, civil and or geopolitical war the other fabs can scale up their output to meet the world's demand.
The same methodology could be applied to other forms of manufacturing and agriculture.
NASDAQ: NVDA 🚀🚀👨🚀
I didn’t neg, but I was tempted to mouth off at Team green.
spite one corporation by buying products from the other corporation… really showing the corporations there
Good to see the prices drop again. I'm waiting for another deal on the RX 6600 below $300 so I can claim it on tax.
Ozbargain, the only people buying Intel graphics cards
I mean after AMD hiked up prices with Nvidia I am definitely rooting for Intel lmao
I mean in this post there's the amd option that's faster+cheaper than the intel option linked…
I mean the latest series cards amd had the opportunity to take market share and hiked prices up just as much
Perfect to run 2 in SLI
Brace yourself. With the losses Intel just made, Arc looks precarious long-term
I'm just hoping it means more discounts 😬
I don't know whether the discounts will be worth it if they drop support.
Yeah but they are big enough to swallow it and learn… I don't think they are out just yet on GPUs and quite frankly the competition is good.
If they make losses in their bread and butter divisions, isn't that more incentive to diversity into graphics cards.
Who knows. They might play safe, double-down on what they’ve always know.
About the only thing the Intel GPU is better at is AV1 encoding, but really if you want it for that just get the lower model for cheaper.
They do plan for future driver performance improvements but I don't see them getting %15+ performance gains overall until end of year, if even possible via driver updates.
Yeah but at these prices they're pretty close to being gteat value for money, in today's still-certifiably-insane GPU market.
A770 is a hard sell at $550~. I think the A750 at $369 is a pretty good deal. You get a better cooler and comes with a free game that you could sell bringing it under $350. Personally, I'm waiting out hoping either the A770 Asrock drops below $400 (probably won't happen) or A750 hits $300 (possible). It would be a nice upgrade from my RX 570.
aib a770 dont get the full 16gb vram do they? potentially with better drivers the 16gb vram can see better gains in games?
Are any 1440p games actually memory bound with 10GB?
I think the 16GB is for AI, etc
@idonotknowwhy: I was thinking like one of those newer farcry games with 11gb vram required for the HD texture pack and if its likely that more games would require that much vram.
@idonotknowwhy: Yeah just found it here, 12gb vram is minimum for loading hi res textures in farcry 6, and 16gb vram is recommended for 4k resolution. Obviously asking the a770 for 4k is a bit too much, but definitely a 2k capable card.
@Brrrrt: Yeah, FC games are playable at 60fps, so if the A770 can maintain that, I imagine it'd be worth running the 12gb texture pack for 1440p.
Man it's going to be awesome if Intel get the drivers under control, 2nd gen Arc could be really competitive.
i want the xt for this price please
Anyone think there's issues putting a Rx 6700 amd for 1080p gaming on a 6th generation Intel gigabyte main board. Or should I stick to NVIDIA?
Nah
I've got the 6700 it crashes all the time drivers are updated. annoying af.
Have you checked crash dump files to see what’s the cause? My Nvidia was doing this especially with high settings and realised my RAM I kept from my old build doesn’t work at full XMP speed with my mobo
I really hope both Intel and AMD to be more successful with their GPU lines to provide so needed competition to NVidia.
I got this 6700 a week ago - great for 1080p, OK for 1440p. Was also able to get $20 from Shopback with the Westpac Lounge. Really fast shipping too - showed up early Tuesday in regional QLD from a late Sunday order. As far as I can tell, this is currently the best bang for your buck, and not too shabby in terms of efficiency as well, topping out at ~158W without tweaking.
Been playing Control & H:ZD. Control either can't do RT, or you need to drop internal res to 1080 to go much faster than 40fps - H:ZD is 59fps for the 1% lows, spiking up as high as ~85. Not quite high refresh rate levels, but very smooth on high/ultra with few/no laggy spots so far. About 2x as fast as the old GTX 1060. VRR monitor also means no tearing - it's great.
@alvian Deal reverted back to @Twix's last update. Both cards have been sitting on 5 units available since the deal was posted even with all the sales because Scorptec manually updates the stock availability on the listings
Removing the A770 from the deal with 5 units remaining when the 6700 also has 5 units remaining is illogical
For the second time today, please use your role-given discretion and nous when making these types of changes as you are denying the community deals that are not only live and available, but best in market
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:deal_posting_guidelin…
As a general guide, deals with less than 10 items in stock at the time of submission may be unpublished.
Your interpretation of the 10 minimum required units is incorrect. At the time of your post submission (28/01/2023 - 09:07) there were a maximum of 9 units available for sale according to Scorptec eBay, and thus the Intel cards do not meet the guidelines requirements.
We don't care if Scorptec manually updates the available stock in the future to keep it always at 5 units. We check only the stock at the time of submission, if such information is available. In this case, this information is available. We have always moderated eBay deals this way.
The 6700 has sold 12 units since the deal was posted and there are currently 5 remaining. There were not 17 units but rather <10 units available at the time of posting. Best that you expire the entire deal now because applying some discretion and common sense is obviously challenging
We don't care if Scorptec manually updates the available stock in the future to keep it always at 5 units.
As the newest OzBargain moderator, you are certainly making a splash
Enjoy your fiefdom
Discretion was applied and the Intel card remained in the post description, as well as being indexed via the product tag.
Throwing sarcastic insults at me publicly will not change the decision. If you think the guidelines were wrongly applied, then please start a discussion in the Talk With A Moderator forum where you can ask another team member to review it. Complaining and tagging my username in the comments section do not get results simply because my colleagues are not alerted.
@alvian: There's no sarcasm in the comment above, they're all facts
As the newest OzBargain moderator = true
You are certainly making a splash = true
Enjoy your fiefdom = ongoing but based on current behaviour, also true
"Fiefdom" applies to this situation because "you" as the moderator are checking deals submitted by "us". To put it simply, you have nothing to rule if no deals are submitted by community members. I trust you recognise this fundamental point as part of your moderator duties
Finally, the timeline:
28/1 9:07am - deal posted
29/1 10:50am - 1 day passes and Twix makes minor update the deal title. No issues with anything else including deal quantities
30/1 12:04pm - another 1 day passes. As part of your maintenance, you remove the A770 from the deal title which has been scrutinised and passed by all other moderators during the past 3 days
There is no need to raise a TWAM thread - you believe you're operating correctly so continue to do so
All the best
Staff messing-around again, for negative effect.
Is this really the AI ChatGPT?!
Rx 6700 has been this price via scorptec eBay plus with the $50 off coupon for a few weeks now. Direct website is like $15 more if you don't have eBay plus.
