The Intel Arc A770 equips up to 16 GB of GDDR6 memory with a bandwidth of 560 GB/s, its clock frequency reaches 2,100 MHz and adds a total of 32 Xe cores accompanied by 30 units of ray tracing. How could it be otherwise, the graphics card has support for all kinds of technologies and algorithms, including Variable Rate Shading (VRS) and DirectX 12 Ultimate, while intelligent scaling based on intelligence is carried out by XeSS, the alternative of Intel to Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR.
According to Intel, the Arc A770 outperforms the RTX 3060 when it comes to running games with ray tracing at 1080p, something that for now the company only demonstrates with a graph where you can see the comparison in different titles. Press reviews aren’t out yet, but rumors say that at 1440p the Intel Arc A770 performs between the RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3070. Intel lift the NDA.
Regarding the 329 dollars that the Intel Arc A770 will cost, we must bear in mind that the conversion to euros will not be favorable at all. In the United States an RTX 3060 can be found for that price, but in Spain the same graphics card easily exceeds 400 euros. That can give us a better idea of the sale price that the Intel Arc A770 will have in our territory. In any case, we will have to wait for Intel to rule. Another option is for European retailers to start listing graphics cards with the price.
Today Intel is not in a position to fight against the latest GPUs from Nvidia and AMD, but everything seems to indicate that it can offer cards with the same price and performance as its two competitors. It is true that the RTX 3060 is two years old, but after knowing the prices of the RTX 4000 series, whose most ambitious models do not fall below 1,000 euros, its attractiveness has increased a lot.
