Intel is now officially in the GPU game.
Two, actuallythe Arc A770 and the Arc A750.
How do both GPUs compare, and should you buy one over another?

Let’s begin with the newcomer.
As far as power consumption goes, this GPU guzzles up to 225W from your power supply.
Now, let’s have a look at theRTX 3060itself.

And as far as VRAM goes, you get a single, 12GB GDDR6 VRAM option.
It has more RT cores, more shading units, more VRAM, and whatnot.
And this is true even for the mid-range cards.

NVIDIA cards are better optimized and, in turn, perform better due to NVIDIA being a long-standing player.
And the result might surprise you.
In many games, the Arc A770 is on par, or better, than the RTX 3060.
The trend normally favors the Intel card, and these two specific games are more CPU-intensive than GPU-intensive.
It also goes to show what we said earlier.
NVIDIA cards are more mature; therefore, their drivers are better optimized for many games, including these.
It’s a toss-up but in a good way.
Which Graphics Card Should You Choose?
It’s really good, and in a good way.
But it’s probably fairer to compare it against the RTX 3060, at least right now.
Then, we also have the fact that it’s cheaper.
Plus, as Intel’s drivers keep maturing, games should perform better and better every time.
And in its first try, even.
