  6. Keep going on, Intel. For my first ever build/rig, i've chosen Arc GPU . My intuition is telling me that i've taken the right decision. A770 gonna be paired with i5 13600K.

  11. Hello sir, really it helped me a lot about clearing out my confusion about which GPU should I choose for my new build. Let me share with you my build history with you. I bought Intel i5 13500 processor with MSI PRO B760M-A WiFi last month. As far I could understand from your video that I should go for ARC a750. But I also want to be sure that if I consider buying ARC a770 for my i5 13500, is there any chances of facing CPU sensivity ? And is it goiing to be the waste of money if I choose a770 over a750. I am from Bangladesh very curious about Intel ARC GPUs. Please help me out so that I can also help other Intel users around me with your reference. Thanks in advance and sorry for any spelling error since english is not my native language.

  12. The lowest CPU requirements that intel officially announced were intel Core 10th gen and AMD Ryzen 3000 series. However, if you do these tests (performance bechmarks) with an i5-10400 or a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, you will get much worse results due to Arc Alchemist's severe driver/architectural overhead problem. In this video, the lowest-end CPU that intel used for their tests was an i5-12400, which didn't reveal the whole picture of the truth about the first-generation Arc GPU.

  13. Okay, real talk and a question: why is intel arc performance busted, on a platform that lacks resizable bar? The sad thing is im in a position where if i could, an a770 would have been a sizable enough upgrade from a 980ti in my former main pc. But everything i can find on the subject says that gaming performance is nonexistent if i can't enable resizable bar. The system in question is an x99 platform, and bios updates stopped well before such a feature was even discussed, let alone asked for. And put honestly, not a single platform i have, supports resizable bar in any way, shape or form.

  17. I wonder what the older cpus like 9900k and 9700k would stack up against these scores? Lots of people like myself were able to get rebar working on z390 motherboards and purchased arc cards to extend the life of older platforms while supporting the new guy.

  22. Did a new build this year with an intel 13600k and Arc a750. Love seeing drivers helping this card out, the recent update was a huge help to older DirectX games. Hoping to see more work done on DX 11 and 10 next.

  23. You guys are doing good! Keep going! Bought one of the Arc 770 LE (even if 400€ was a stretch) to test it, and with the driver updates you show a lot of respect to us. Love the design you used the most. I still use my 4080 for gaming thoug and really hope your Battlemage will surprise me. But take your time to optimize the drivers first before you throw it on the market again. Considering how good the hardware seems to be it was embarrassing for you to throw the ARC 770 on the market so quickly. But you made alot good with the updates. Love it! Even if I have to keep playing Beta Tester, because to be honest – Everyone does it! And try to keep the I7/9 a bit cooler – Running it with a 360AIO and doing Cinebench I get temperatures that also stress me out! Overclocking them may have helped you against AMD but not with us Freaks who love to tinker by ourselves. And undervolting affect performance very quickly because they won't allow to keep the clocks up. I own a 12900K and a 13900K and can see that only the cache gave the 13th. gen the edge. So put more cache in instead of overclocking! It will add alot of customers. AMD does it right now with their new X3D versions and people freak out about it. I am speaking as a Gamer here who occasionally does render videos and makes skins for flightsim planes. I can't speak for the 3D Artist who does play a bit in his free time of course. And guys – No one convinces a Intel Fanboy like me to go try AMD except you making a poo poo. So keep being reliable – That should be your first rule! Also wearing T-Shirts don't make you look good to Gamers, especcially if they know you wear them only for this occasion 🙂 I personally love the class Intel always showed, so don't step down from it just to attract customers you want to bring over from companies who started with wearing T-Shirts. Good Luck to you all, on the Intel Graphics Team! I am personally rooting for you!

  26. Honestly I love my A750. I've got an i7 11700KF paired with my A750 and I absolutely love the pairing. I can't wait to see what comes next. These GPU's are definitely needed to shake up the market

  28. Great informative vidéo. Please i am a blender user on an old i7 4770 gen and i want to see more tests on applications side with blender, da vinci, unreal or unity of course if possible. Good job and i hope the better is coming. 😊

  32. I hope you guys manage to overcome competitors with the next generation of intel cards, because we need good prices and quality, I'm from Brazil I already worked as a hardware computer technician today I'm unemployed unfortunately, but one of the things that was missing here when I worked was marketing, little was heard about the Arc line here, just by some youtubers,(sry my bad english😅)

  33. I'm taking the 12400 instead of the shown 12400f with the A770 because I believe it may help with deep link technology to boost my performance. Am I right in my presumption?

  36. I really want to do a full team blue build but am waiting for ATX12VO to release. Currently Paying 42 pence per Kwh here in the UK so there is no way I'm building a system that pulls 70-80 watts when idling/browsing with a PSU spec from 1995
