Intel Arc A750 desktop graphics card performance demoed in popular games

Arc will arrive “sooner than you think” according to Intel fellow Tom Petersen. In a move to reassure the masses of Intel’s confidence in its upcoming GPUs, the Arc graphics team demoed the gaming performance of the A750 desktop graphics card in several modern titles. This coincides with a recent guest appearance of Tom Petersen and Ryan Shrout on the Gamers Nexus YouTube channel to discuss Arc in more detail.

The Intel video demonstration was straightforward and to the point. Ryan Shrout fired up the Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark in 1440p on high settings to show that it managed a stable 60 fps experience. The Arc 7 A750 graphics slightly outpaced the performance of an Nvidia RTX 3060, which Shrout then backed up with additional examples from F1 2021, Control, Borderlands 3, and Fortnite.

For context, the A750 falls into the Arc 7 category, somewhat as we’d imagine the Core i7 series for CPUs. However, this does get a little murky with there being an A780 model as well. We’ll just have to wait and see how the product segmentation pans out in terms of pricing and performance.

It’s no coincidence these games happen to be popular benchmark titles, and it’s about time we saw some basic head-to-head matchups in more relevant titles. With that said, it’s an impressive showing for Intel’s debut into discrete graphics for gaming.

Yet despite this decent showing, Intel was quick to provide a disclaimer about Arc’s gaming performance. “The performance of Intel Arc won’t look like this in all games, but this demonstration was a great view of what Arc is capable of with the right game enablement and software engineering. We have an entire team of engineers working to make it happen,” said Shrout.
