As NVIDIA and AMD release more and more new generation graphics cards, the Arc launched by Intel last year is not so attractive. Perhaps due to this reason, poor sales, Intel recently decided to change its strategy and recently announced that it will lower the price of the Arc A750 graphics card to be similar to the RTX 3060. At the same time, the newly launched driver will also greatly improve the gaming performance of the A750. From this point of view, the CP value of the A750 can be said to be quite good.
Reduced price and better performance! Intel announces Arc A750 graphics card is now cheaper, new driver brings up to 77% performance improvement
In the recent Arc graphics card 2023 Q1 update briefing released by Intel, it was mentioned that the recommended selling price of the Arc A750 will become US$249, which was originally US$289, which means it is US$40 cheaper. Some people may think that the price reduction is not much, but if you add the performance improvement of the latest driver, it is very good.
According to statistics from foreign media Wccftech, many channels on the market have now been adjusted. For example, Newegg, Amazon and B&H can all find prices of US$249.99. However, the prices of versions launched by cooperative manufacturers are still a bit high. For example, the ASRock Arc A750 Challenger is now priced at US$289.99.
When the Arc A750 debuted in October 2022, its driver version was 3490. At least 4 new driver test versions have been launched so far. In the latest 4090, the performance of the Arc graphics card (mainly DirectX 9 games) has been greatly improved, from 10% to 77%. The CS:GO experience is the most obvious:
Intel also mentioned that in the test of 43 games, the average FPS of 1080p quality also increased by 43%, and the same as 1440p, the average FPS also increased by 35%.
Intel driver version 3490 improvement highlights (Arc A750):
- 1080p average FPS: up to 77% improvement
- 1080p 99% FPS: up to 114% improvement
- 1440p average FPS: up to 87% improvement
- 1440p 99% FPS: up to 123% improvement
- Average DX9 FPS improvement across all games: 43%
- Average DX9 99% FPS improvement across all games: 60%
Compared with competitors, Intel claims that the current game value is 52% higher than RTX 3060:
So for those who want to buy a new graphics card, if you have a small budget and just want to find an entry-level card, Intel Arc A750 seems to be a good choice and you can consider it.
However, what is more embarrassing is the Intel Arc A580, which has not yet been officially launched. Everyone speculates that the price of this graphics card will be around US$225, but now the higher-end A750 has been lowered to US$249, which is only a little more expensive than the A580. Therefore, in theory, it should be lowered to between US$199 and US$220. Of course, Intel may also cancel the launch of this graphics card. After all, it has been delayed for so long and competitors are also launching new generation graphics cards.
