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.

Not the 750 of course, but the A770 seems like a good value option to me now personally. I’d still maybe use DXVK for it though, or test it out rather. Even on Nvidia cards many old games see rather dramatic improvements with DXVK ASYNC latest in my tests (Witcher 2 which is DX9 or GTA4 for example).

It could be a replacement for a RX580?
Will it be supported in the following years?

The abysmal DX9/10/11 perf of the driver. They improved that now, but that doesn't make it "fine wine." It makes it normal wine.
My response was a counter to their marketing BS.
abysmal performance was due to a flaw in 9on12 itself, and there are still architectural concerns that stand in the way of performance.

Intel so far seems to supports the card well and they improved alot since the release. A770 would be really nice upgrade over rx580 especially if you play newer games.
