  • Can this run valorant on 1440p >120fps

    • +27

      My balls with a pcb clipped to it could play Valorant at 120fps. But do a quick google and check no driver compatibility issues but that's improved greatly over time

        hodling for next gen DVbargain's balls

        • +8

          I think they've stopped growing sorry

            @Dvbargain: Just come up with a frustrating and kinda dodgy new power connector for them and crank up the wattage - it works for Nvidia

  • How powerful is this VS a 1080ti. Would any PC masters here please help chime in

    • +5

      don't bother, not much of performance jump if at all,

    • +2

      If you just type in the name of the GPU "vs" the other GPU name into Google, you'll get a rough idea on where they stand.

      …Of course excluding any features like encoding/decoding AV1/H266 and frame manipulationm

      Have a look at Relative Performance chart. 1080Ti is 99% and A770 is 100% (so 1% difference)… I'd rather keeping 1080Ti unless AV1 hardware encoding is a must.

      • oh wow thanks for that. I'll keep what I got then. Maybe 5060ti will be cheap!

    • you will see slightly better frames (10 to 20) at 1440p with a A770, not worth it. Get a second hand rx6800xt or a 3070

    • +1

      Putting aside AI upscaling and ray tracing, it matches it in raster, as does the 4060.

      You should be looking at an RTX 4070 at a minimum, or perhaps waiting for a 5080 or Intel Battlemage.

    • Gamers Nexus did a 2024 comparison of the 1080ti (the G.O.A.T.) vs modern cards: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghT7G_9xyDU

      Lots of comparisons to current gen cards starting at about 19 minutes. You need to go for at least a 7900 GRE or a 4070 super to have meaningful (i.e. 2x or better) performance uplift.

      The A770 is anywhere from a few percent slower than the 1080ti to 15% or so faster, depending on the game and resolution. Of course, you don't get ray tracing with the 1080ti.

    idk man just get a used 6700 or better for $300-400

    • but.. but.. its got 16GB vram.

      • +5

        but.. but.. its still bad anyway.

    • +2

      Comparing used goods to new is nonsense.

      • why?

        • +2

          Cos of course used stuff is cheaper then new. Looking at Ebay A770's have sold recently for around $300.

          • +1

            @Aureus: but that doesn't mean the new stuff is better value

            • +1

              @lachlantula: It doesn't. But if are happy to go second hand, you should compare prices with other used cards.

      I find that most 2nd hand graphics card sellers are delusional these days. Way overpricing their cards and then getting offended when you submit a reasonable offer. Oh well no worries. I picked up the A750 version of this card 2 days ago using the TAXTIME discount code for $290. For a brand new card with warranty and never been used and abused before - I'm happy with that for the budget ITX build I'm putting together for my kids to play:

      All parts were bought brand new - Nothing Second hand.

      CPU: i5 12400F - $150 (ebay - with code)
      Mobo: H610i - $95 (ali express)
      RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz - $99 (Umart)
      GPU: Arc A750 - $290 (Centrecom)
      SSD: 1TB PCIe Gen 3x4 M.2 - $28 (Amazon)
      Case: Silverstone Sugo SG13 - $49 (Umart)
      PSU: 550W Bronze - $60 (Umart)

      Total: $722

      Should be somewhere near the performance of a PS5 according to this comparison chart - https://www.logicalincrements.com/articles/graphicscardcompa…

      I will test it further when the GPU arrives.

      • +1

        I'm keen for an SSD for $28, was that a prime day deal?
        Definitely agree that most second hand cards are overpriced.

      • +2

        Not to mention no tax receipt so you can't claim it on tax (if applicable), or warranty of course.

        Only time I buy second hand is from refurbisher and tech resellers.

      • The prices ebay sellers still believe 2080 ti's and 9900k's are worth is insane

  • This or upcoming Arc Xe2 Battlemage?

    • probably neither but we'll have to wait and see how xe2 is priced

    • The equivalent Xe2 card will be close to double the performance at about the same power budget, but I'd imagine it'll start around $600.

    Thanks bought one to setup Intel AI playground

    • +1

      You're welcome. Glad it came in handy 😊

    • Seems like a good price for 16GB VRAM. How'd you go with this and how many did you get?

      Do models split well across multiple ARCs?

      I got inference going (a lot slower than my 3090's) with Vulkan on my A750 a while ago.

      • Should arrive this week and then see when I get a chance to play.

        Only watched a YouTube video so far on it

  • I would not personally buy Intel GPUs not even their high end CPUs lately with instability issues. Intel blames motherboard OEMs, motherboard manufacturers blame Intel… For reference I own few ‘gaming’ centric PCs + handhelds including ironically i9 13th gen paired RTX 4090.

    As for Xess implementation in-game it’s average at best & maybe slightly better than FSR 2.0 which isn’t hard (the reason you’re really looking to buy this - because enterprise centric use case would generally go for higher VRAM lol).

    Intel’s upscaling is currently sparsely integrated into most games (let alone back implementation by the devs). Although in theory you could leverage AMD’s FSR 3.0+ going forward on any GPU I’d still advocate DLSS 3+ over FSR 3+ over Xess.

    I’d save extra few hundred bucks and buy AMD or NVIDIA.
