After that, buyers have until July 31 to redeem the offer. The bundle is only valid for new purchases between February 1 and April 30. Intel's Arc A380, Arc A750, and Arc A770 graphics cards generally qualify for the bundle, but the exact SKUs may vary by participating retailers. The bundle, a $450+ value according to Intel, gives buyers free copies of Nightingale and The Settlers: New Allies, as well as a one-year subscription for PowerDirector 365, a three-month subscription for XSplit Premium and D5 Render, a six-month subscription of MAGIX Video Pro X14 and a full download for Topaz Gigapixel AI. To add value to Arc Alchemist graphics cards, Intel recently announced the revamped 'Intel Arc Graphics: Play & Create Bundle' that rewards Arc buyers with two games and five creative applications. There's also the RX 6400, but that still lacks video encoding support and is markedly slower than the A380. But the first has a higher price tag ( $149 (opens in new tab)), and the latter is old and often hard to find. The closest models that deliver comparable performance to the Arc A380 are the Radeon RX 6500 XT and Radeon RX 570. Hooray.AMD doesn't currently have a direct competitor for the Arc A380. And this is probably the first time we can genuinely say that about an Intel Arc GPU.

That remains the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT.īut ASRock's 8GB take on the A770 is now absolutely buyable, a genuine contender. What we can say for sure is that the A770 at $270 is now cheap enough that we would give it serious consideration. And so in the long run, if Intel sticks with its driver optimisations, the A770 should prove the GPU with the superior longevity.īut that's not a certainty. You could make the argument that the A770 is fundamentally the more powerful hardware, complete with a 256-bit memory bus. Then you have to factor in Intel's fast improving but still somewhat substandard driver quality. In others, the Radeon board is a bit quicker. Itll massively increase heat and can cause instability, though as thats actually overclocking it.

But, if you drag it up to 100 you can get up-to 300 Mhz higher on the GPU clock. In some games, the A770 can be much faster than the 6600 XT and indeed the 6650 XT. Its not as simple as being a clock speed slider, as it adjusts the entire VF curve as the card. AMD's RX 6600 XT is a tough challenge for the Arc A770, even at its new lower price.
