Intel Arc A750 | 8GB | 3,548 shaders | 2,400MHz | $249.99$199 at Newegg (save $50)A bit of a dud at launch, Intel's Alchemist GPU keeps getting better as the price comes down and the driver quality improves. Now at under $200, the A750 variant looks like a steal next to any even remotely comparable AMD or Nvidia graphics card. it's genuinely a great buy
Is Nvidia's new RTX 4060 Ti an actual disaster or just a bit disappointing? That's debatable. But one thing is for sure. At $400, it's still whole console money for a pretty low end GPU. What is a gamer on a tight budget to do?
Buy an Intel Arc A750 graphics card, that's what. Yes, really. Because it's now available for just $200. That's half the price of the 4060 Ti, but it's a lot more than half of the graphics card.
It's also way cheaper than the new $300 AMD RX 7600. And get this. Sometimes it's actually faster than the RX 7600. On average, for standard raster games with no ray tracing enabled, the RX 7600 is about 10% faster than the A750 at 1440p. But if you enable ray-tracing the A750 is actually faster.
It's very hard to see what the extra $100 is buying you with the AMD board. How about the Nvidia comparison? For standard raster performance at 1440p, the RTX 4060 Ti is in the region of 60% faster. That sounds like a lot. And it is. But the RTX 4060 Ti is also not only 100% more money, but also, you know, it's $400. That's $400 an awful lot of people simply don't have.
Put another way, where the RTX 4060 Ti is returning, say, 80 fps, which is about what it does deliver on average in standard raster games without ray-tracing enabled, the A750 will give you about 50 fps.
Can you feel the difference between 50 fps and 80 fps? A bit. But it's not like we're talking 50
