Intel Arc A750 8GB GDDR6 Graphics Card

The potential for good performance is there, just not realised yet.
Well-built, runs cool'n'quiet, feels solid, looks great.
No WDDM/WHQL drivers in WIndows Update or any fallback modes, so you're stuck in 800x600 or so until you download and install the drivers.
The drivers are what needs work: performance is often good, on paper, but continual stutters and jittery frame delivery make it feel like a third of the framerate - in some games.
Other games will run fine, but may have large hitches at certain actions for no reason. Enabling ReBAR is absolutely key, you may have to disable SVM to get it working - only trust Intel Arc Control to ...view more The potential for good performance is there, just not realised yet.

Overall it's been a nice upgrade from a 1070, with hints that performance could be 2-3x higher, but in reality it feels only about 20-50% better in most situations.

These are superb value now and absolutely mop the floor with AMD RX7600 and Nvidia 4060 both cards are $200+ more, this was not the case a year ago, Intel's driver revisions have vastly improved the performance and the visual quality of the A750 Intel is excellent, There are a few graphic glitches at times but way less than I ever have with Radeons and the Real world performance usually matches and sometimes exceeds that of the Gtx1080Ti's now (I have in two other systems) and that's a MAJOR achievement, 1080Ti's were stunners and you will still pay $400+ for a used 6 to 7 year old card today...My advice don't buy used Grab one these Intel...view more These are superb value now and absolutely mop the floor with AMD RX7600 and Nvidia 4060 both cards are $200+ more, this was not the case a year ago, Intel's driver revisions have vastly improved the performance and the visual quality of the A750 Intel is excellent, There are a few graphic glitches at times but way less than I ever have with Radeons and the Real world performance usually matches and sometimes exceeds that of the Gtx1080Ti's now (I have in two other systems) and that's a MAJOR achievement, 1080Ti's were stunners and you will still pay $400+ for a used 6 to 7 year old card today...My advice don't buy used Grab one these Intel A750 cards and enjoy it, yes it does need a modern systems so if your still running 2nd gen Ryzen (400 series MB) or 6 year old Intel (11th gen or older) you will loose 10% performance without rebar turned on.... Thank You PBTECH for being one of the few retailers to offer this great value product!

I took a bit of a gamble on this during a recent promotion because I was curious to see what Intel had come up with.

Slapping it in my HTPC with a Ryzen 7 2700X and 16GB of RAM for my first round of testing, it took a while to get setup - my motherboard required a firmware update to enable Resizable BAR, and the GPU needed one too - but nothing too difficult.

The games I tested were:
- Uncharted 4
- Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart
- Spider-man: Miles Morales
- Last of Us Part I
- Gotham Knights
- Sonic Frontiers

With the surprising exception of Sonic Frontiers, all games ran amazingly well at 3440x1440 (Ultrawide) resolution and...view more I took a bit of a gamble on this during a recent promotion because I was curious to see what Intel had come up with.

For the asking price, you really can't fault this thing. However, be aware that some stability issues persist to this day (Aug 2023). In particular, I saw Uncharted 4 crash for no apparent reason twice. Once while building shaders, and again while actually playing the game for under half an hour.

At best, this will do me for a few years of gaming on my HTPC, and at worst it'll become my "spare" GPU for troubleshooting. So, I'm quite happy with the purchase.

Runs great for Minecraft and Sims 4. This card has good mid-range performance for 1080p. Runs great for Minecraft and Sims 4. This card has good mid-range performance for 1080p.

drivers are surprisingly decent (1st gen product) most games get day one driver updates for improved performance which is nice.

my only issue is Intel arc control panel, it’s gorgeous and fairly minimal without bloat but I’ve never been able to update drivers within the app.

The card itself is built well, temps are good and build quality is fantastic drivers are surprisingly decent (1st gen product) most games get day one driver updates for improved performance which is nice.

Power draw only downside, drivers way better now. Power draw only downside, drivers way better now.

!!!!! This card is AMAZING !!!!! ** Upgraded from GTX 1660 Super, using an AMD Ryzen 2700x with 64GB of DDR4 **
I did a ton of research before purchasing and I'm NOT disappointed. Raytracing and all the goodies with Fortnite, Elite Dangerous, Microsoft Flight Sim and War Thunder all maxed out.
It does a very good job with Star Citizen but sadly, with that one title the 8GB of VRAM gets swallowed up and you can get a bit of stuttering as it caches the card! ( I was hoping to get an A770 with 16GB of RAM but PBTech couldn't source one for me )

Now my one word of advice... DO NOT just rip out your nVidia/AMD card and put this one in and hope to have no issues. Intel advises ( and I HAD to do it ) to use the DDU Device Driver Removal Tool to rid Windows
PROPERLY of any nVidia/AMD drivers before installing your ARC drivers. If you don't do this you can get a ton of gaming issues you'd think you'd purchased a crap/bad card! ( Happened to me! )
This thing is almost on par with a 4060 in performance with so many titles, yet at just a fraction of the cost!

Went in with an open mind expecting instability galore but I've honestly had more crashes from AMD cards than I have from this.

Apart from a few minor bugs (dual screen confision on occasion, a few legacy games don't run well yet) its been better than expected. Looking forward to incremental improvements Went in with an open mind expecting instability galore but I've honestly had more crashes from AMD cards than I have from this.

Can't believe this is so cheap, great first outing for Intel , get steady frame rates even with ray tracing, good for 1080p gaming , very happy with it, can't wait to see what they do next.

You should remove all old gpu drivers from your system with ddu before plug the card. You should update your bios latest version. before plug the card. %100 make sure enable "reslze bar " from bios menu. You might need to disable "Csm" first for activate resize bar. If you do theese things, then you will have amazing video card for the price. For now almost same with rtx 4060. 3 months later will be same with 4060 ti. With every driver update getting stronger.

Slightly nervous purchasing given mixed reviews to date, but straight out of the box this has been fantastic for the money. Huge improvement over previous card (5500XT). More stable (no crashes to date) and running at much more consistent and higher frame rates at much higher graphics settings.

Good value.
Intel had a not so great release with the A750, but now with the driver updates it's definitely going to be getting AMD to pick their game up.
For a beginner gamer this will have enough VRAM to suit most needs without breaking your bank Good value.
