Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition Review

mmorpg.com:

Intel is aiming to get into the dedicated graphics hardware side of the PC hardware business, taking on industry leaders Nvidia and AMD in the process. As their first real foray into dedicated GPUs, Intel is aiming for the entry-level side of the market, targeting gamers who are looking for an affordable, performant GPU at 1080p, and some 1440p applications. At $250, the Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition aims to disrupt the entry-level GPU market in a way that gives gamers yet another choice when deciding what to buy for their next upgrade.

The Intel Arc A750 is a sleek GPU. From its slim 2-slot profile with a full die-cast aluminum frame, to the simple, yet stylish, axial blade fans on the bottom of the card, the Arc doesn’t look like any of its competitors. And that’s a good thing as it helps to set a unique design language that is all its own. Its chrome accents shine through against its matte finish, the Intel Arc logo on the backplate clearly visible against the darker backdrop.

It’s a shame that it doesn’t have any of the RGB features of its more expensive brother, the Intel Arc A770. While the A770 has a diffused RGB strip around the GPU as well as RGB on the fans, the A750’s only illumination comes from the side Intel logo which is visible when slotted normally into a GPU. I do greatly appreciate the black I/O bracket, though, as it fits perfectly into the aesthetic of my case. 

Intel’s first crack at dedicated GPUs has brought a bevy of technologies to bear, which is particularly ambitious for an entry offering. The Intel Arc A750 supports AI-driven upscaling with its Xe Super Sampling (XeSS), which aims to offer similar benefits to both visuals and performance of Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super
