IntelArc A750 Limited Edition 8GB PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card

Great price, great GPU and great seller. Does it get better than that. Will work with this seller again. Absolutely.

This card is better than my RTX 3070 Ti at everything I do except gaming. Seriously. It renders high resolution images in Stable Diffusion faster, it encodes videos in h.264 and HEVC (h.265) in half the time, and it can encode in AV1 at maximum quality even faster than that.

I love the sleek design of the Arc a750. Yes, it is limited edition so not many will be made, but if you're planning to buy this graphics card, I recommend the Battlemage B580. Similar price and even performs better than the Arc a770. This graphics card runs very hot usually at 80C at 80% utilitization. Otherwise, when this card launched originally, the drivers were horrid but since the time, the drivers work on most gamed and was amazing for the price. Recommended if you find it on the second hand market for around $200

Strengths1. Very sleek looking card (not looking either cheap or gaudy)2. Graphical power roughly equivalent to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 (so expect at a minimum to get 60 FPS in 1080P in most titles, with some less demanding games being playable up to 4K).3. Fairly quiet when the card is under load in my opinion.-Weaknesses1. Is more power hungry than AMD and NVIDIA at this performance level. I feel this is the card's biggest weakness. Case in point:The A750 is barely able to run Genshin Impact at 4K max settings at 60 FPS. I initially had a 600W PSU, but when playing the game with it in the most graphically intensive scenarios, the PSU woulds be unable to provide enough power and it would shut off the computer entirely. I was forced to buy a higher wattage PSU in order to alleviate the problem. While this will ultimately vary depending on your set up (having 3 RGB case fans probably doesn't help) I highly recommend having at least a 700W PSU if you plan on doing any 4K gaming with the A750.2. As mentioned by other reviewers, the A750 is a bad drop in upgrade for old systems. This is due to requiring a PCI-4 Express slot and ReSizable BAR being required for optimal performance. If you are looking to upgrade a system from roughly 2018 or earlier you are best going for AMD or NVIDIA instead.3. From what I heard the Intel Arc Series is weaker in older games that use DX9 or DX10 (I don't typically play such games so I wouldn't know.-SummaryAssuming this being used in a new build, the Limited Edition (Intel's Reference) model of the A750 is great value for the money at the current price of $180. Nvidia cards in this performance tier tends to be overpriced. AMD is better priced but has weaker Ray tracing report. The A750 is lower priced than offerings from both of it's competitors which is its biggest strengths. No matter if your looking for a GPU for a secondary computer or your making a budget primary build, the A750 is well a purchase.

ordered this as the like new version. Came in orginal packaging witch was sligtly damaged,but the gpu was in perfect condition and worked first try. It was able to run pretty much every game i threw at it at high settings with ususally over 60fps considering this is a $200 dollar card.One downside was the amount of VRAM in some games my fps was limited by the VRAM and not by the actual gpu For me is it was this or the AMD rx7600 I would definitely go for the a750 if you can find it for about the $200-$250 price range

This review is based on using this card for several months now on Windows 10 x64 Professional.On the bright side:The ARC card is physically very impressive and good-looking hardware to show off in a glass PC case.The card is dead silent...a very quiet card, even when the fans get ramped up.The Intel ARC box & presentation when you receive it is top-notch...it's like opening a blue box from Tiffany's. Much care & detail went into making sure you know Intel created something very special with the ARC cards.The issues & problems:The ARC 750 is a very nice card that's very capable, but has issues Intel hasn't resolved, though reported by many customers for the past year+:I'm running four fairly new Asus monitors on a fairly new PC build. The monitors have DisplayPort & HDMI connections. The ARC card supports 3 DP & 1 HDMI connection, so 3 monitors are connected via DP and one connected via HDMI.The monitor connected via HDMI consistently goes black for a few seconds every single time I open websites, such as Amazon Prime Video, Spotify, Rumble, or other video website services. After a few seconds, the monitor comes back to life and works normally. This causes any windows open on that monitor to move to other monitors, then I have to move those windows back to that monitor.I've clean uninstalled & reinstalled the Arc software and drivers...issue persists.I purchased a new & modern HDMI 2.0/4K monitor cable...issue persists.I've adjusted various power & browser settings, such as browser Hardware Acceleration...issue persists.Many other customers report similar issues on the Intel ARC forums & support site, but have had no luck resolving them. Intel support is almost useless, as all they do is ask the same questions, make the same recommendations that never work, and make the same excuses to blame the PC or some other issue. In the end, there's been no answer or resolution to this issue.Prior to buying the ARC, I had an NVIDIA GeForce card installed that did not have this issue. This narrows the issue down to it being an Intel-specific issue, either with the ARC card or its software/drivers.Also, the ARC software has a tendency to completely & consistently fail during software update checks, requiring another uninstall/reinstall of the ARC software that might get it working again...until it fails again.I know Intel has been working hard to make the ARC cards top-tier cards, but their failure to resolve the black screen issue among many customers with varied systems is frustrating. After spending $200+ on a video card, it should be a top priority for Intel to resolve this and any other issues to protect & enhance the brand image they want to project against their competition.My system:Windows 10 x64 Professional, version 22H2, with all updates installed.Asus Prime Intel motherboard, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake i5 12400 CPU, 32GB Corsair RAM, Samsung 980 Pro SSD 1TB drive, and Corsair 850W PSU.In other words, it's a fairly new & strong system with plenty of resources.
