Intel Arc A770

[...] I'm also hoping that Intel puts out an Arc A770 class upgrade in their B-series line-up. My workstation and my kids' playroom gaming computer both have A770's, and they've been really amazing for the price I paid, $269 and $190. My triple screen racing sim has an RX 7900 GRE ($499), and of the three the GRE has surprisingly been the least consistently stable (e.g. driver timeouts, crashes). Granted, I came into the new Intel GPU game after they'd gone through 2 solid years of driver quality hell, but I've been really pleased with Intel's uncharacteristic focus and pace of improvement in both the hardware and especially the software.

[...] Intel CPU & ARC A770 dGPU) connected to a TV that just runs Steam and Batocera with 4x USB 8BitDo controllers attached. [...]

[...] That ranges from Minecraft to (apparently the most graphically intensive game I own) The Talos Principle. [...] Now I finally have a bleeding-edge-ish Sparkle Arc A770, but that's only because I wanted to run a shader coding event and didn't want to force other people to care about the server having a behind-the-curve GPU.

I have an Arc A770 and it seems to work fine so far... [...]

[...] You can get an Intel Arc A770 with 16GB of VRAM (which was released in October, 2022) for about $300 or an Nvidia 4060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM for $500 which is twice as fast for AI workloads in reality (see: ) This is a huge problem because in theory the Arc A770 is faster! It's theoretical performance (TFLOPS) is more than twice as fast as an Nvidia 4060 (see: ). [...] not a ridiculously expensive "enterprise" monster) that developers could use that had something like 32GB or 64GB of VRAM it would sell! [...]

[...] Intel has a history of getting this type of software working. [...] Arc A770 seems like by far the bang for the buck once software lands. [...] Decent performance. [...]

I bought an Arc A770 expecting that this feature would materialise based on it being available on other contemporary Intel GPUs, but it never did. Does the B70 definitely support SR-IOV from day one?

Nice article. I'd add that I have 8k@60 supported when using RX 6600XT and Arc A770.

I've been pretty happy with my Arc A770 LE (16 GB). The drivers were rough at launch, but they've gotten much better, and at the time it was the best performance $350 could buy.

[...] However, I had a third option, which I took: I bought a working NVidia card, put my AMD card in my attic, swore off AMD GPUs and ROCm forever, and began warn other people against ever relying on AMD. [...] Now, my software is tied to CUDA. Others are building more on top if it. If people want to run my software (or by proxy, and software which uses my software as a platform), they have more-or-less the same option if they accidentally bought AMD. [...] Right now, I'm just waiting for Arc A770 support to improve, so I can also support Intel. That will be the cheapest way to run my tools, since you get 16GB for $300. [...]

I suspect there are a few issues: 1) NVidia drivers had a lot of secret sauce to give high performance. [...] Arc A770 gives 16gb for <$300. [...]
