    What would the equivalent NVIDIA or AMD card be?

    • teereb on 07/04/2024 - 17:07

      Rtx 3060
      About ~20% slower than the 4060 from a quick Google

      • Aureus on 07/04/2024 - 17:13

        It is pretty similar to a 4060 in 2024. Some games still get bad performance due to driver issues, also the 4060 is a lot better at RT.

          4060 is also about $60 cheaper, so its really only worth it for AI work. Still, a solid improvement compared to where it started

    • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2024 - 17:08

      Around RTX4060/RX6700 level. Recent driver updates has closed the gap a fair bit. Main advantage of this card though is the VRAM for AI work

    • DreadEmperor on 07/04/2024 - 20:19

      Relative performance comparable to an RTX 2070 Super or RX 6600 XT, according to TechPowerUp: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-a770.c3914

    • 4foxache on 07/04/2024 - 21:15

      According to userbench about the RX 7600

      https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Arc-A770-vs-AMD-…

      That said you can get the RX 7600 cheaper so what would be the advantage of the A770? AI?

        Not sure about userbenchmark, the comments they make seem a little unhinged. Try this guy:

          "Little unhinged" is just a little bit of an understatement when it comes to the Userbenchmark guy.

          although i think this shows another problem, google being so dogshit nowadays, top results are all paid/SEO optimised dogcrap just like userbenchmark but for every field people are interested in.
          that and how reddit result ranks high because people resorts to googling "question" + reddit, and reddit is not a good site for many type of question too.

        userbenchmark is not a reputable site

        userbenchmark is literally the worst source for PC hardware information.

    The A750 I got for my son has been fantastic for 2k gaming. Runs great and have had no issues with drivers.

  • manity on 07/04/2024 - 17:15

    If I recall correctly do these cards not under perform significantly if you have anything less than a 7th gen main board or something? Any confirmation on that? Am curious how well it works for AI image generation compared to NVIDIA.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2024 - 17:18
      +2

      Yeah, they need Resizable BAR, which isn't standard until Intel 10th(?) gen. 8th/9th gen support varies on board.

    • dmouse81 on 07/04/2024 - 17:23
      +1

      They're designed to be used with PCI-e resizable bar enabled which from what I recall was only available on 8th gen Intel and up. For AMD I believe any Ryzen based system should support it.

      • DreadEmperor on 07/04/2024 - 20:33
        +2

        AMD introduced Re-sizable BAR with AGESA 1.2.0.0- So if the motherboard can be flashed to at least that, it's good to go.

    I'm a little bit iffy on my AsRock challenger a750. I'm getting some weird graphical glitches. I might try and re-seat it

    I wouldn't be surprised if the price of Arc cards plummets over the next few month or so, Battlemage is right around the corner.

  • Apostle0748 on 07/04/2024 - 18:02

    Have the Acer version of this from the last deal.

    TL;DR - Awesome all round.

    I'm not a huge gamer (and don't really play the latest AAA titles), but do have a 4K 144Hz monitor and it works well. Sniper Elite 4, Max settings @ 4K works well. AOE4 (RTS so not as graphically intensive at an FPS game) max settings at 4K.

    Do a lot of AI image generation on it now, if you get it look at SD.next - it works really well on the card. Video editing too works well, especially with 4K footage.

    Driver issues overall have been minimum.

      Textgen works now with llamacpp and Vulkan.

  • Cyphar on 07/04/2024 - 18:37

    What's the renderer like? Only reason I stay with Geforce cards is because Nvenc is superior to AMD's offering.

    • rhino015 on 08/04/2024 - 00:46

      My understanding is that this is one of the strong suits of Intel actually

    • postnut on 08/04/2024 - 13:51

      AV1 seems to be the encoder equalizer, given single encode as far as i know, I agree AMD's h264 and 265 is dog for low bitrate.
      NV also has reflex, for me its one of those things that I can't game without now. source: i went from 1650S to RX6700 to RTX4060, even though its technically a down/sidegrade

      I also prefer nvidia control panel to AMDs, hope new control panel is not gonna be chromium webview BS

  • dabbberboi on 07/04/2024 - 19:32

    This is FIRE!!!

  • Brrrrt on 07/04/2024 - 19:40

    Anyone can comment on streaming on this card?

    Not super knowledgeable on this field, but Im wondering if there’s equivalent or nvnec encoding for these intel cards. Cheers

    • [Deactivated] on 07/04/2024 - 20:27

      Yeah, these has Quicksync Video (same hardware encoder as the one on Intel iGPU, but a version newer I believe). It trade punches with NVENC

      • Brrrrt on 07/04/2024 - 21:37

        Cheers!

    • Tollery on 07/04/2024 - 20:51

      Supports AV1 and HEVC encoding/decoding

      • Brrrrt on 07/04/2024 - 21:37

        gotcha, thanks!

    • postnut on 08/04/2024 - 14:00

      Supports H264, and apparently with best efficiency out of the 3 vendors, which a (twitch)streamer would care about.
      This is all to change if/when twitch rolls out AV1 encoding for everyone. I tbh think its crazy they still haven't despite limited beta test (I see 0 streamers having av1 streams)
      so at the moment get Intel or Nvidia if you really care about that quality. If AV1 update comes, buy whatever GPU you want.

      • Brrrrt on 08/04/2024 - 18:48

        rgr that. i think this will be the one for me then

  • idonotknowwhy on 07/04/2024 - 21:50

    These work for textgen ai with vulkan now, 16GB is good for this price.

    Haven't tried them for gaming, but the drivers were trash at launch.

        Dino Crisis.

  • kid-vhee on 08/04/2024 - 09:30

    I'd easily consider this just for 4:2:2 10 bit h265 encoding.

    Iron Man has an ARC, and he was able to build it in a cave! With a box of scraps!

    A-series don't support virtualisation if that matters for anybody else

  • flagsarefun on 08/04/2024 - 14:53

    If you don't need the VRAM I'd probably still prefer the 4060, given the more widespread use of DLSS over XeSS, G-Sync compatibility and overall driver maturity. Especially since the 40-series also has AV1 support. Still tempted though…
