The Intel Arc A770 boasts 8 GB and 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, 32 Xe cores, a 2100MHz clock, and Intel’s Xe graphical architecture. The card also has XeSS support, which is a competitor to AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and Nvidia’s DLSS.

Intel also shared some benchmark results of the Arc A770 compared to RTX 3060. The Arc 770 can be seen performing better than the RTX 3060 in many games running at 1080p with ray tracing on.
Intel’s head of Accelerated Computing Systems and Graphics Group (AXG), Raja Koduri, discussed the challenges that came with optimising the card’s drivers. He explained that the first generation of the GPUs was the most difficult, as programmers had to work with an entirely new architecture. He explained that the second generation of the company’s cards will perform better, as a lot of work had to be done to get older games running smoothly.
The Intel Arc A770 16 GB will be available in the US starting October 12 at the price of $349, which is around Rs. 29,000. The 8 GB version is priced at $329, which is around Rs. 27,000. The Arc A750 GPU will also launch on October 12 and will retail for $298, which is approximately Rs. 24,000.
