Intel Arc A770 Graphics Card Previewed in Games & Overclocking Up To 2.5 GHz & 285W TDP

A new video from Linus Tech Tips features a preview of Intel’s top-tier Arc A770 graphics card. The tech pub displayed gaming performance in several games at 1440p and gave viewers an early peek at Arc GPU overclocking abilities.

Intel Arc A770 Graphics Card Previewed in Games & Overclocking Up To 2.5 GHz & 285W TDP, Delivers Smooth 1440p Gameplay

Only a few days have passed since Intel formally announced the Arc A770, the company’s top-tier Alchemist graphics card. The card was also hinted at during the WAN program hosted by Linus Sebastian and Luke Lafreniere and featured Tom Petersen and Ryan Shrout from Intel as guests. The Arc A380 graphics card reviews went live today, and not a single reviewer is impressed by the driver side of things, making the lineup useless for launch. Intel’s graphics division has now given an early look at the performance and overclocking capabilities of its Arc A770 card through Linus’s channel, and things look decent.

The flagship ACM-G10 GPU will be used in the Intel Arc 7 family, and we already know about the mobility models, the Arc A770M and the Arc A730M. Similar to the Arc A770, which has 32 Xe-Cores for 4096 ALUs and 32 ray tracing units, the Arc A770 is one of the top-end desktop PC models.

The GPU should run at a top boost speed of 2.4 GHz, which is always higher than the engine’s listed clock speed. The GPU should be able to provide nearly 20 TFLOPs of FP32 horsepower at 2400 MHz.

A 256-bit bus interface and 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM are also included in the card. Although the real TGP/TBP should be lower than that, in the 250W range, the GPU receives power through an 8+6 pin connector design with a 300W maximum output. The card appeared to be using about 190W during the demo.

Given that the Arc A750 is up to 17% quicker than the RTX 3060, we should anticipate the Arc A770 to perform somewhere between those two graphics cards.

Performance-wise, Intel primarily concentrates on DirectX 12 & Vulkan API games before migrating to more legacy DX11 and older games, as we previously reported. In a performance test, two identical PCs running an Intel Core i9-12900KS and an Arc A770 GPU deliver about
40 frames per second in DX11 and 80 frames per second in DX12, respectively, a 2x increase in the most recent API. This noteworthy outcome demonstrates Intel’s Arc GPUs’ driver overhead when using the DX11 API. Therefore, if you get an Arc graphics card, playing games in DX12 would be your best option to attain performance on par with its rivals.

According to Intel, there will be three tiers of Arc GPU enhancements. Arc GPUs will provide best-in-class performance in the First Tier. The version of games in the second tier is less optimized but still based on the contemporary APIs we just described, and may be on par with or
slightly below that of the competitors. The third tier, which includes games that aren’t efficient and use more outdated APIs, is the last one. Therefore, performance in these games will be far worse than the opponents.

Most of the performance testing was done with Cyberpunk 2077 and F1 2021, which provided a good experience at 1440p. Overclocking produced a smoother experience, but we could not obtain any FPS numbers. While playing Cyberpunk 2077, the Intel Arc A770 graphics card operated at 100 percent efficiency at a maximum clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a maximum temperature of 76C. The power restriction was raised to 285W, the temperature limit was adjusted to 125C, and the graphics card was set to a GPU Performance Boost profile of +20
percent, which changes the voltage curve. The game broke when the Performance Boost profile was increased to +30%, indicating that this is the upper limit of the silicon used in these tests.

Our exclusive article recently discussed the pricing and performance tiering of the entire Arc discrete desktop graphics card lineup. Linus predicts that the Intel Arc A770 graphics card should cost less than $400 US, given its performance and market state. This is also the price we anticipate for the card. Stay tuned for updates and demos as the Arc A770 and the rest of the portfolio are scheduled to ship later this summer.
