Intel continues to advertise its Arc Alchemist graphics cards on popular bloggers’ channels. This time, company representatives showcased the most powerful Arc A770 Limited Edition card on tech blogger Linus Sebastian’s LinusTechTips YouTube channel.
The specifications were not indicated, but some details were still included in the video. Judging by the video, the video chip operates at a frequency of 2.5 GHz, the rated power consumption is 190 W and can be increased to 285 W. And the temperature of the chip is 70 degrees under load.
The company also explained that the card works best with DirectX 12 and Vulkan games. But in DirectX 11, the situation is much worse. For example in Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s switch from DX11 to DX12 resulted in a 2x higher frame rate.
Intel representatives also said there are issues with the drivers, but they are being resolved. In addition, they promised that the prices of the cards will depend on the performance in older games. And in modern, like cyberpunk 2077, Control and Borderlands 3 promises the company will “destroy everyone in terms of price and performance.”
The price has not yet been revealed, but the Arc A770 is rumored to cost less than $400.
