Don't laugh at Intel. Intel actually has a 4% market share for discrete GPUs. That means 1 out of every 25 GPUs sold is an Intel despite how crappy Arc is.

they are making progress, it's a good thing

 

[KYZT2021]

The Intel Arc A770 is actually quite stable for me, but older games might not be fully compatible. Some notable new games aren't running properly though, like Cyberpunk 2077.

I look at the current pricing, it is not much cheaper than RDNA 2? why bother to take the risk.

 

[KYZT2021]

still beta testers

Yup. Waiting for it to be available here near the USD249 MSRP. At that price and improved drivers, would be worth the hiccups. Would be great for 1080 gaming on the cheap. RX 6650 XT and RTX 3060 too expensive. If all 3 are available for same price, would take 3060>6650XT>A750 for the mature drivers... but if A750 is available at MSRP... would definitely get the A750.

6650 xt is a good 15% faster than the 3060 12gb (avoid the 8gb, it is slower than even the 6600 non xt), and u can get the radeon for cheaper ($420) than the geforce card ($505) locally now. in my experience amd drivers have been rock solid on 6000 series cards too, have ran 3 different cards (6600, 6600 xt, 6700) in separate systems with 0 issues.

but if A750 is available at MSRP... would definitely get the A750.

u can already get a750 performance in the 6600 at the a750 msrp locally (ie with 8% gst, around $360), and u dont have to be a beta tester for intel drivers. 6600 also pulls about half the power.
