![]() If the specifications below are confusing, read the summary of Intel Arc technology. ![]() And for a first generation GPU, that's actually pretty high praise. The Intel Arc A750 uses Intels new Xe HPG architecture explicitly built for gaming and content creation. There will be cases where it's way off the mark, and that pretty much rules this card out for anyone on an older system without Resize BAR support, but generally I think the same can be said of this card as I did in my Arc A770 review: if I bought a cheap prebuilt PC and it had an Arc A750 in it, I'd be cool with that. ![]() The performance is mostly there at 1080p, and at 1440p it's pretty tight with the competition-even in those games where it shouldn't necessarily do so well. So, for the cash, would I be happy with an Arc A750? Yeah, I would. It doesn't come with the same fancy RGB LED lights as the Arc A770, unfortunately, which do look lovely, but it's still great-looking in its own right. I'm sure third-party manufacturers will come up with some solid designs, but I'm not turning my nose up at the Limited Edition trim. It's priced at not a penny over the all-important MSRP and it's quiet and cool, despite the card's very high relative power draw. ![]() The Arc A750 Limited Edition is going to be a tough cooler to beat on this card, too. It's hardly a divisive victory, and for the most part the RTX 3050 is much slower. Even in a game like Total War: Three Kingdoms, in which Nvidia's RTX 3060 makes massive gains over the Arc A770, the RTX 3050 only just scrapes the lead over the Arc A750. There's no doubt as well that the Arc A750 appears simply a better graphics card for the money than an RTX 3050. The performance is mostly there at 1080p, and at 1440p it's pretty tight with the competition. The architecture and the memory-likely the high memory bandwidth on this card versus the competition-seems to put it on a better footing for QHD gaming. AMD's RX 6600 edges out the competition at 1080p, and it's clearly the better choice for the money at that resolution, but there's a lot of positive stuff to be said about the Arc A750 at 1440p, and with ray tracing enabled.
