![]() ![]() Prior to the release of Intel Arc, the company’s experts have made it clear - Intel may not beat the best GPUs in terms of performance, but it intends to stay competitive in terms of pricing. The results might be different in DX11 or older titles, where Intel still has much to work on, but for future releases, Intel’s Arc GPUs look ready to compete. In terms of raw performance, it won in most benchmarks. While we now know that won’t be the case, it’s clear that Intel is capable of trading blows with Nvidia’s RTX 3060 in a big way. Initially, the predicted performance for the Arc A770 was closer to the RTX 3070 or even the 3070 Ti. While Nvidia is still the ray tracing king, Intel might shake things up in that regard, seeing as it actually beats the RTX 3060 on average - and remember, Nvidia is known for its ray tracing capabilities. We’ve also examined the ray tracing performance of the Arc A770 and found that it did a good job of it - decidedly better than the AMD options, at least. The Arc A770 16GB proved to be somewhere between the RTX 3060 and the 3060 Ti, on average, in 1440p gaming scenarios. Testing in 1440p gave us similar results. It’s not a major difference, and this was the only game where Nvidia actually won. Cyberpunk 2077 skews things in Nvidia’s favor, though, with the RTX 3060 scoring 60 fps and the A770 trailing behind at 58 fps. The Arc A770 scored 93 fps on average, followed by 88 for the 3060 Ti and a measly 67 for the RTX 3060. It beats not just the RTX 3060 by a landslide but also the RTX 3060 Ti by a small margin. In Red Dead Redemption 2, Intel Arc A770 truly shines. ![]() On the other hand, the RTX 3060 Ti dominates with 96 fps. In Forza Horizon 5, running at max settings, the Arc A770 was able to hit an average of 85.9 frames per second (fps), which gives it a noticeable lead over the RTX 3060 with just 76 fps. We tested the 16GB version of the Arc A770 at 1080p and 1440p in a number of games, comparing pure gaming performance as well as its ray tracing capabilities to the RTX 3060. Intel itself has admitted to the fact that Arc Alchemist does a much, much better job at running DirectX 12 and Vulkan titles than DX11 and older, and this is proven through our tests. In this article, we’ll focus on how the A770 fared against the RTX 3060, but the numbers are there if you want to consider how they compare to AMD’s RDNA 2 GPUs, too. We’ve had the chance to review the Arc A770 and the A750, so we’ve put them through a number of tests and compared them to similar options from Nvidia and AMD. This comes at the cost of the total board power (TBP), though - an extra 55 watts is nothing to sneeze at. Ultimately, the Arc A770 certainly has more memory and faster bandwidth, as well as a higher boost clock. The RTX 3060 sits in between with 12GB, which is more than the RTX 3070 (8GB). As you can see, the two Arc A770s are virtually the same, apart from the large disparity in memory size: 16GB and 8GB. ![]()
