For starters, if you don't enable Resizable BAR in your BIOS settings, don't expect this card to perform well at all.

ASRock adopts precise screw torque when assembling its graphics cards to optimize the cooler mounting pressure to improve thermal efficiency while avoiding damage to GPU die. In our review we ran extensive tests and can confirm that it offers decent performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Based on review's so far if I was putting a budget/mid-tier system together along with a 1080P display I'd definitely consider a punt on Intel's new cards.Both of these games managed to run the benchmarks, which is an improvement likely from drivers over the Intel Arc A380, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement here; performance numbers are fairly low. Part of us would worry that the performance issues and drivers wouldn’t improve, though, and we’d later regret the decision.

The biggest key change that we can see here being the addition of a dedicated memory controller for the graphics processor. The Xe-Cores each hold 16 256-bit Vector Engines and 16 1,024-bit Matrix Engines with a shared pool of 192KB of cache. I've been reviewing computer hardware for years now, with an extensive computer science background as well, so I know how graphics cards like this should perform at this tier. The 3DMark scores it turned in place it on a par with the RTX 3070 and even faster than the Radeon RX 6700 XT!

I focused mostly on synthetic and gaming benchmarks since this card is overwhelmingly a gaming graphics card. With the amazing-looking Intel Arc A770, the blue team is making a push to offer a capable mid-range graphics card product at affordable pricing. Bring your best for your viewers and take your livestreams to the next level with virtual streaming technologies built into Intel Arc Control enabling flexibility and creative control. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced the news on Tuesday and said the move is intended to counter the high costs consumers have seen for GPUs over the past two years. I began working on computers owned by immediate family members and relatives when I was around 10 years old.
