Free COD MWII offer is also extended and avalible when you purchase through either of these storefronts.

MSY link here. A further 5$ drop to the 349$ price if you are located in the above mentioned states, delivery is 349$ + delivery fees and C&C in WA and QLD is still 349$. A bit cheaper than delivery on the other ebay deal but that is a 'founders' editon.

Arugably a very good budget buy given the almost certainty of Intel providing constant driver updates which one after the other offering solid fps gains. You can see the lastest (well not the lastest anymore since its 3 weeks old and newer driver updates have arrived, but still give you a good idea of its performance) in Gamer Nexus's RX 7600 review here, while theres still many games that the A750 struggles in, in many titles its crepting right next to the 7600 fps wise which is nothing short of amazing given the disaster launch of this card.

    Intel dropping the A750 RRP just before the 7600 launch was good

    If they drop the A770 16GB before the 4060 Ti 16GB launches next month so it gets to AU$399, even better

            @Buyingcrap: yeah but budget. better than 4060 Ti on 1440p and 4k thanks to wider bus

            also better choice for people with PCIe 3 because of 16 lanes

            that's what budget should have been all along. but obviously team green only wants us to play 1080p at this price range looking at 4060 Ti

            a lot of good gaming can be done with 8gb VRAM, AAA titles released in the past couple years didn't become obsolete overnight, I haven't finished a lot of them, they run happily in 4k on 8gb.

            full disclosure, I also have Xbox Series X, if I want to play those console games, I'll do it there.

                @Rod M: True, but going forward there will me many more unoptimised BS running. Will you keep blaming the bad ports or rather have a 12GB GPU and just play the (profanity) out of it?

                • Rod M on 19/06/2023 - 22:53

                  @[Deactivated]: yea my next GPU will probably have 12-16gb+ but I still don't see that coming for a while, playing at 1440 with a 3070 the past two years and it still does everything fine.

              @shabaka: Many good points here. I’ve had zero issues with any games with my 3070 at 1440 and you indicate you play happily at 4K. If I was building now with a budget under 2k, I’d pick up one of these cheaper cards to get me through a generation or two. The 4000 series is a joke.

              @shabaka: The problem I have is that my GTX 1080 already has 8GB and also plays all the titles you mentioned fine, I mean I'm playing jedi survivor now at 2560 x 1080 @ medium setting and getting 50 - 60 fps on a freesync monitor. I also have a series x.

              I want an upgrade, but I definitely don't NEED one. If I was on a 1060 or something I could justify the jump to a 3070 but for me personally I feel like a 4070 with 12GB is the minimum to warrant the upgrade. Problem is at $850 I balk at the price and carry on with what I have.

              I just keep putting away $25 a week waiting for that killer deal that never comes, like the $650 4070 that some people had price honoured. That's my holy grail and I'm willing to wait for it.

              • Rod M on 20/06/2023 - 07:29

                @Buyingcrap: you are doing the right thing, I went from a 980ti to a 3070 2 years ago and the performance jump was substantial, the 3070's are at a much more affordable price now,

              • shabaka on 20/06/2023 - 07:49

                @Buyingcrap: absolutely makes sense, it depends a lot on what you're upgrading from

                1080 Ti to 3070 is around 30% upgrade on raster, roughly 2x performance for plain 1080 to 3070

                I started my upgrade journey from 2060 which had 6gb of VRAM and noticeably struggled in 4k

            @Buyingcrap: @shabaka @Rod M @The Almighty Dollar I'm currently upgrading to a 3070 and 1440p but need a CPU - got any recommendations? I'm currently leaning towards the i7-12700k based on online reviews, but it's still fairly expensive…

              @ODST05: I would look at a AMD AM5 based system as this is a new socket and you can upgrade again in a few years time,

              the base model 7600 CPU will be more than enough for the RTX3070 at 1440,

              • ODST05 on 20/06/2023 - 23:45

                @Rod M: True, and it's a bit cheaper. Thanks!

    • jasswolf on 20/06/2023 - 01:07

      The 8GB 4060 Ti thrashes the A770, so it's not going to be a very direct shootout.

      • holisticboy on 21/06/2023 - 10:33
        -1

        There is no such thrashing, its actually pretty close to each other (it shouldnt, the 4060 ti should be miles ahead because its way more expensive). The 4060ti is barely faster than an RTX 3060ti and the A770 runs toe-to-toe in a number of games with the RTX 3070… and thats even when not pushing the VRAM limits in which you will do much better with A770. Give it even more time, where Nvidia tends to not scale performance upwards through driver updates, but Intel and AMD do get faster with time, and it looks even more blurry.

        The fact is, it shouldnt be blurry at all in any way. It should be a night and day difference, and its not. A true indicator of the state of the GPU market at the moment

        • jasswolf on 21/06/2023 - 11:52

          The 4060 Ti traded blows with the 3070 at launch, before considering PT/heavy RT gains and frame generation. I've been very clear that I think this is a rebadged 4060, and the price drops have reflected how much margin there was for NVIDIA and retailers to give away.

          The A770 is on track to perform at roughly the same level as the 3060 Ti but it has at least 18 months of driver optimisations to go, assuming no further architectural quirks. The VRAM count on the A770 LE reflects that the architecture isn't optimised for certain operations, eg. applying MSAA.

          Digital Foundry have some great recent coverage on this, though Intel have since released performance updates for one of the games featured.

          Between that, and the architectural benefits of Lovelace that will begin to push the 40 series ahead, I think it will be more of a 4060 competitor over the rest of its lifespan, so it's priced accordingly. This generation will take some time to settle in, much like the 20 series before it.

            @jasswolf: Your insights are awesome, kudos for the good answer imo. I still think that a $350 card shouldnt be anywhere near a $599 card though, which was my point, and alas this is what we have here. It shouldnt even remotely be comparable, but alas here we are.

            I think this is another good aspect for discussion, RT effects can also have a significant impact on VRAM too (frame generation being one of them too as a part of DLSS3), so that 8GB VRAM is going to be hitting limits very quickly. Frame gen also needs a stable and smooth picture going in first, so as things diminish (the relative performance of the 4060ti over time) so too will the frame generation feature. Intel cards are surprisingly good at RT for a first gen card, and the larger VRAM helps in some extremely complex lighting conditions (such as the Cyberpunk update, theyre well ahead of AMD but neck and neck with 3 series Nvidia until VRAM limits are hit in which they pull ahead)

            I thoroughly recommend this article too, looking at the very low level architecture of A770 and how it all functions. Its a more direct-to-architecture look as opposed to the Digital Foundry video, so its a nice look at things. https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/10/20/microbenchmarking-inte…

            • jasswolf on 21/06/2023 - 14:40

              @holisticboy: Keep in mind that the 4060 Ti now starts at $550 here, and will crash through $500 fairly quickly due to the competition the 4060 faces.

              I think the Ti is in an odd spot because it seems to require a PCIE 4.0 bus to function properly for now.

              One thing you're skipping over here is that there's a lot of VRAM saving techniques that aren't in place yet, such as sampler feedback, DirectStorage 1.1, and a couple of options more specific to RT/PT, one of them NVIDIA exclusive.

              NVIDIA made a bet in 2018 that things would move along in the dev space, but COVID put a big dent in that.

    • incipient on 19/06/2023 - 21:21

      $350 for a very capable FHD gpu seems pretty fair…

      • Jimmy77 on 21/06/2023 - 15:35

        Nah GTX 1060 was a very capable FHD gpu and that was 7 years ago. You'd have expected that tier to have been replaced by 1440p now

        • incipient on 21/06/2023 - 16:04

          The A750 absolutely crushes the 1060 in the semi-sythetic benchmarks (eg firestrike), about twice as fast (Intel drivers are improving at a crazy pace, so gaming benchmarks are hard to compare).

          As games get more demanding, the performance required for a given resolution increases. A card that can do FHD today needs to be a lot faster than FHD 7 years ago.

          • Jimmy77 on 21/06/2023 - 16:09

            @incipient: Obviously. But if that's the case why aren't we still on 640x480?

            Every few years a higher resolution always became the standard. Then we've been stuck at 1080p since early last decade. If you compare an FX5200 to a 6600GT the 6600gt is like 2000% faster. The 6600xt is only around 200% than the GTX 970. Massive stagnation

            • incipient on 21/06/2023 - 16:28

              @Jimmy77: Because 24" sits nicely on most desks, and FHD at 24" at "desk distance" is a pretty decent option. I'd argue we are moving to qhd slowly, but doesn't change the fact that FHD demands are much higher today than 7 years ago.

              You're comparing % increase between hugely different generations. Everything improves at a higher % when the technology is new. Early, quick wins, give huge improvements. Absolute improvement is probably a hell of a lot higher today.

              Anyway, properly off topic now haha.

    Techpowerup has these cards below listed within 3% of each other:
    GeForce RTX 2070 - 97%
    GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB - 99%
    Radeon RX 5700 XT - 99%
    Arc A750 - 100%

    I picked up a RX 5700 XT for $200 off some bloke from facebook marketplace last night. Its the best price-to-performance GPU at the moment imo.
