![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the EVGA RTX 3060 XC Black graphics card I received as a review unit isn’t as much of a looker. With the gorgeous redesign of the 30-series cards, that’s a shame. Not only do these “Founders Edition” models set a good standard for pricing, they also are the prettiest graphics card you can buy. Nvidia isn’t releasing a first-party version of the RTX 3060. The RTX 4070 may get a big price cut - but there’s a catch Here’s how Nvidia defends its RTX 4060 Ti’s memory controversy RTX 4070: comparing Nvidia’s midrange GPUs If you're comfortable dropping this kind of cash and taking that chance, you will still find this card does a lot of things great and can serve as a bridge to Intel's next generation of cards, Arc Battlemage, due out in 2024.Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti vs. ![]() As Intel's drivers improve, a lot of these issues might fade away, and the Intel Arc A750 will grow into the formidable card it seems like it should be. ![]() Those pieces are how craftspeople learn to become great, and I can very clearly see the greatness that future Arc cards can achieve as Intel continues to work on lingering issues and partners with more game developers. In the end, the Intel Arc A750 is a journeyman blacksmith's work: showing enormous potential but not of enough quality to merit selling in the shop. The same can't be said of the A750, and only you, the buyer, can decide if that is worth the risk. Their performance might be rough for a few days or weeks after a game launches, but the game plays. That is simply not a problem that AMD or Nvidia have. I really can't recommend people drop $250 on a graphics card that might not play their favorite games. How many games are there out there like Tiny Tina's? It's impossible to say, which is the heartbreaking thing about this card. Some games, like Tiny Tina's Wonderland, won't even run on the Arc A750, and it really, really should. But it is exactly that inconsistency that drags this card down. If only this performance were consistent across every game, then there would be no question that the Intel Arc A750 is the best cheap graphics card on the market. The Arc A750 can even run even with the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT in ray tracing performance with upscaling at 1440p, getting 42fps on average. These are much lower than the RTX 3060's 77fps, thanks to DLSS, but getting roughly 60fps gaming with full ray tracing and max settings at 1080p is a hell of an accomplishment for the first generation of Intel discrete graphics. When running Intel XeSS and Nvidia DLSS, the Arc A750 averages about 56fps on max settings with full ray tracing at 1080p, while the RX 6600 can only muster 46fps on average.ġ080p gaming (Max settings, no RT, average fps) Header Cell - Column 0 In fact, when gaming with ray tracing at 1080p, the Intel Arc A750 comes in a close second behind Nvidia's RTX 3060 8GB, 37fps on average to the 3060's 44fps.īump that up to 1440p, however, and the Intel Arc A750 actually does better than the RTX 3060 8GB - 33fps on average to the 3060's 29fps average. The story is similar when gaming, where the Arc A750 generally outperforms its rival cards, even in ray tracing in which Intel is the newcomer behind mature leader Nvidia and fiesty, determined AMD. Here, the Arc A750 scored a dismal 9,766 to the RTX 3060's 20,786 - a 10,000 point deficit. In that average though is its PassMark 3D score, a good measure of the card's ability to render content that wasn't just put out within the last couple of years. Nothing exposes the issues with the Arc A750 more than its synthetic performance scores, which on average trounce the RTX 3060, 23,924 to 20,216. The thing about the Arc A750 is that the things it does well, it does really well, but those areas where it flounders, like older DirectX9 and DirectX10 workloads, it does so pretty badly.
