Intel announces Arc A770 Graphics card - available on October 12th at $329
The Arc A770 will be Intel's top-of-the-line model, with 32 Xe cores (equivalent to 4,096 stream processors) running at ~2,100 MHz and coupled with 8GB or 16GB of GDDR6 memory with a peak bandwidth of 560 GBps.
The CEO of Intel confirmed at Intel Innovation that the A770 will cost $329. Recall that the A770 includes an ACM-G10 GPU with 32 Xe-Cores and 8GB to 16GB of memory. However, the Intel Limited Edition includes 16GB of VRAM. Intel says that this GPU offers up to 65 percent greater peak performance in ray tracing than competitor devices (probably the NVIDIA RTX 3060 series). Unfortunately, there is currently no information regarding the availability of A750.
The cards will become available on October 12th with a starting price of $329. intel didn't share much other then it's 65% better in peak performance versus competition in Ray tracing. Not saying what card they are comparing too, but likely the RTX 3060 (Ti) range of performance. We hope Intel's A770 is worth buying when they're released. Nvidia and AMD offer affordable GPUs and are already prepping to release a new generation of products. It is also worth noting that NVIDIA will release their RTX 4090 GPU on the same day.

I love their marketing tactic, Oct 12... and claiming that their cards are 65% better in Ray Tracing. That's a bold statement.
I can't wait for Intel to become really competitive in this space because they have the money to burn to make their advancements and also sell at a loss.
The more competition for medium to high end the better for all of us.

I'm calling these DOA.
For that price ain't no one going to go through the headache of trying untested buggy drivers, praying and hopping they get fixed.
The only way I'm wrong, is for the A770 to outperform the same price card from the competition by some margin.
Didn't we all wish for a 3rd competitor, but they're all in for the profit. Maybe if we vote with our wallets, I'm holding on to my RX580 until she dies if this keeps going.

The 3060 ti is $399 so the A770 is cheaper by $70. If the drivers are decent, it could turn out to be a good alternative to the Nvidia card.
329$ for 3060Ti performance....

It will be hard to beat amd 6600/6650xt for 250-300$. 6700 10gb is also there so 3060ti is not a problem as in reality costs more than 400$.

Intel is betting on AMD and NVidia not lowering price/performance for the next generation of GPUs.
This is really bad news for gamers. As the 3 companies might be trying to scalp consumers as much as they can.
But then again, why buy an Intel GPU, if we can get the same, but with better drivers and support from NVidia and even AMD.
