    What would the equivalent NVIDIA or AMD card be?

    • teereb on 07/04/2024 - 17:07

      Rtx 3060
      About ~20% slower than the 4060 from a quick Google

      • Aureus on 07/04/2024 - 17:13

        It is pretty similar to a 4060 in 2024. Some games still get bad performance due to driver issues, also the 4060 is a lot better at RT.

          4060 is also about $60 cheaper, so its really only worth it for AI work. Still, a solid improvement compared to where it started

    • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2024 - 17:08

      Around RTX4060/RX6700 level. Recent driver updates has closed the gap a fair bit. Main advantage of this card though is the VRAM for AI work

    • DreadEmperor on 07/04/2024 - 20:19

      Relative performance comparable to an RTX 2070 Super or RX 6600 XT, according to TechPowerUp: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-a770.c3914

      According to userbench about the RX 7600

      https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Arc-A770-vs-AMD-…

      That said you can get the RX 7600 cheaper so what would be the advantage of the A770? AI?

        Not sure about userbenchmark, the comments they make seem a little unhinged. Try this guy:

          "Little unhinged" is just a little bit of an understatement when it comes to the Userbenchmark guy.

          although i think this shows another problem, google being so dogshit nowadays, top results are all paid/SEO optimised dogcrap just like userbenchmark but for every field people are interested in.
          that and how reddit result ranks high because people resorts to googling "question" + reddit, and reddit is not a good site for many type of question too.

        userbenchmark is not a reputable site

        userbenchmark is literally the worst source for PC hardware information.

    The A750 I got for my son has been fantastic for 2k gaming. Runs great and have had no issues with drivers.

  • manity on 07/04/2024 - 17:15

    If I recall correctly do these cards not under perform significantly if you have anything less than a 7th gen main board or something? Any confirmation on that? Am curious how well it works for AI image generation compared to NVIDIA.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2024 - 17:18
      +2

      Yeah, they need Resizable BAR, which isn't standard until Intel 10th(?) gen. 8th/9th gen support varies on board.

    • dmouse81 on 07/04/2024 - 17:23
      +1

      They're designed to be used with PCI-e resizable bar enabled which from what I recall was only available on 8th gen Intel and up. For AMD I believe any Ryzen based system should support it.

      • DreadEmperor on 07/04/2024 - 20:33
        +2

        AMD introduced Re-sizable BAR with AGESA 1.2.0.0- So if the motherboard can be flashed to at least that, it's good to go.

    I'm a little bit iffy on my AsRock challenger a750. I'm getting some weird graphical glitches. I might try and re-seat it

    I wouldn't be surprised if the price of Arc cards plummets over the next few month or so, Battlemage is right around the corner.

  • Apostle0748 on 07/04/2024 - 18:02

    Have the Acer version of this from the last deal.

    TL;DR - Awesome all round.

    I'm not a huge gamer (and don't really play the latest AAA titles), but do have a 4K 144Hz monitor and it works well. Sniper Elite 4, Max settings @ 4K works well. AOE4 (RTS so not as graphically intensive at an FPS game) max settings at 4K.

    Do a lot of AI image generation on it now, if you get it look at SD.next - it works really well on the card. Video editing too works well, especially with 4K footage.

    Driver issues overall have been minimum.

      Textgen works now with llamacpp and Vulkan.

  • Cyphar on 07/04/2024 - 18:37

    What's the renderer like? Only reason I stay with Geforce cards is because Nvenc is superior to AMD's offering.

    • rhino015 on 08/04/2024 - 00:46

      My understanding is that this is one of the strong suits of Intel actually

    • postnut on 08/04/2024 - 13:51

      AV1 seems to be the encoder equalizer, given single encode as far as i know, I agree AMD's h264 and 265 is dog for low bitrate.
      NV also has reflex, for me its one of those things that I can't game without now. source: i went from 1650S to RX6700 to RTX4060, even though its technically a down/sidegrade

      I also prefer nvidia control panel to AMDs, hope new control panel is not gonna be chromium webview BS

  • dabbberboi on 07/04/2024 - 19:32

    This is FIRE!!!

  • Brrrrt on 07/04/2024 - 19:40

    Anyone can comment on streaming on this card?

    Not super knowledgeable on this field, but Im wondering if there’s equivalent or nvnec encoding for these intel cards. Cheers

    • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2024 - 20:27
      +2

      Yeah, these has Quicksync Video (same hardware encoder as the one on Intel iGPU, but a version newer I believe). It trade punches with NVENC

      • Brrrrt on 07/04/2024 - 21:37

        Cheers!

    • Tollery on 07/04/2024 - 20:51

      Supports AV1 and HEVC encoding/decoding

      • Brrrrt on 07/04/2024 - 21:37

        gotcha, thanks!

    • postnut on 08/04/2024 - 14:00
      +1

      Supports H264, and apparently with best efficiency out of the 3 vendors, which a (twitch)streamer would care about.
      This is all to change if/when twitch rolls out AV1 encoding for everyone. I tbh think its crazy they still haven't despite limited beta test (I see 0 streamers having av1 streams)
      so at the moment get Intel or Nvidia if you really care about that quality. If AV1 update comes, buy whatever GPU you want.

      • Brrrrt on 08/04/2024 - 18:48

        rgr that. i think this will be the one for me then

  • idonotknowwhy on 07/04/2024 - 21:50

    These work for textgen ai with vulkan now, 16GB is good for this price.

    Haven't tried them for gaming, but the drivers were trash at launch.

        Dino Crisis.

  • kid-vhee on 08/04/2024 - 09:30

    I'd easily consider this just for 4:2:2 10 bit h265 encoding.

    A-series don't support virtualisation if that matters for anybody else

  • flagsarefun on 08/04/2024 - 14:53

    If you don't need the VRAM I'd probably still prefer the 4060, given the more widespread use of DLSS over XeSS, G-Sync compatibility and overall driver maturity. Especially since the 40-series also has AV1 support. Still tempted though…

  • Penguin30 on 13/05/2024 - 21:33

    Built a newer PC in 2021 and been sitting on my old GTX980 for the last 3 years just picked one of these up like the fact that its got 16GB Vram so should work nice for my screen recording and basic needs. And now with the new drivers being released sounds like gaming might be alright too.
