Intel Lowers ARC A750 Pricing towards $250, adds bundle and claim driver fine wine
Intel is lowering prices for its Arc A750 graphics card, now starting at $249, down from its original launch price of $289.
The card, which is designed for high-performance gaming at 1080p, has improved in performance by 43% since its launch in DirectX 9 titles, according to Intel. The A750 features 3,584 shaders, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, and has a typical board power of 225 W. It also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and has regular driver updates for big game releases. The card is made with 6 nm ACM-G10 silicon and comes with 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connectors and modern display outputs, including HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 2.1. Intel has been working to improve the performance of popular DirectX 9 titles over the past few months and has recently shared the results of its efforts. So far, they have added XeSS support to more than 35 games and plan to add more in the future.
The starting price for the graphics card is $249, and custom-designed boards are expected to be sold for under $300. Intel is also offering two games, "Nightingale" and "The Settlers: New Allies," as a bundle with pre-built desktop computers that have 12th or 13th Gen Core desktop processors and Arc A750 graphics cards.

In theory, yes.
But to have seen both in use, in real life, the RX 6600 seem faster.
Not that the A750 is bad (it is a nice card) but the driver seem ball and chain for this GPU.

It too Intel long enough to realize they need to lower prices to entice buyers, specially when AMD and Nvidia provide a much better experience.

Nice, but I'll buy a 16 GB GPU, IF I will upgrade from my RX580 fine wine.
When a 16GB ARC will be less priced, I'll be interested.

If the game bundle only applies to certain pre-built PCs (that have the A750 card), it hasn't got anything to do with the grapics card, per se. It belongs to the PC. I feels like Intel hasn't quite noticed how graphics card game bundles work.

My guess is the A770 is selling well enough to enthusiasts and the lower-tier models are being sold to OEMs. So that leaves the A750 in this awkward middle ground of something that neither enthusiasts or OEMs want.
