Graphics cards can be one of the biggest points of price pain when building a new PC. The higher end models are viciously expensive beasts, and it can be easy to be swept up in the idea that anything less is an insult to your gaming needs. While great business for card makers, this is in no way true.
Lower-end GPUs like Intel's Arc A750(opens in new tab), which only released last year(opens in new tab), can still deliver a great 1080p and often even 1440p gaming experience at far more reasonable prices. If you can get them on sale, even better, and right now NewEgg has a few tasty sales on these Arc GPUs.
Before we get into the deals, it's always important to make sure your PC parts are going to be compatible, but with Arc GPUs it's worth doing one more piece of due diligence. While they'll still work without it, to get the best performance out of these cards you'll need to make sure your CPU and motherboard support Resize BAR. Most newer ones should, but it's definitely worth checking first as we've found as much as a 22% drop in performance without it for these cards.
The ASRock store on NewEgg has the Challenger Arc A750 8GB GPU(opens in new tab) going for $230. This A750 is the little brother to the ASRock Arc A770's which recently saw a nice price drop(opens in new tab). The A750s followed suit, leading to this cheaper offering right now, and at this price it's hard to recommend the A770s over it. There's not a ton of difference between the two cards when it comes to performance, and an A750 GPU with 8GB of RAM is more than enough to handle some really nice 1080p gaming sessions.
