**Building and Overclocking the Intel Arc A750**

I've got the Intel Arc A750 now, there is a little bit of tweaking that I like to do with these Arc cards. Obviously, you will want the latest Arc driver. I'm using the beta driver right now, and with this, you get the art control center over on the left-hand side. We're going to go to Performance Performance Tuning from here. You can get a little bit of a GPU performance boost, but the main setting that I like to change here is our GPU Core Power limit. This card is set at 190, but I'm just going to take it up to 226. Apply that way, we know we can send sufficient power to this Arc A750 and keep those clocks up. I've really not had good luck with overclocking the card itself; just that Core Power limit really helps out.

**GPU Benchmarks**

The very first thing I wanted to take a look at were some GPU benchmarks that I ran on this rig. First up, we've got 3D Mark Night Raid coming in with a strong 4684. I know this is a lower-end benchmark, but I always like running it just to kind of compare to iGPUs down the road. Next on the list we've got Fire Strike 23546, and finally Time Spy with an 11,1118. These synthetics aren't looking bad at all, and I'm pretty sure we're going to see some awesome gaming performance.

**Cyberpunk 2077 Testing**

The first game we're going to be testing out is Cyberpunk 2077. Keep in mind with this first clip, resizable bar is turned off in the Bios. 1440p High settings with Intel XE SS set to balance, resizable bar is off. So, you can see we're not at 60 FPS but as soon as I enabled it from the BIOS, our average here at 1440p High with XS set to balance jumped up to 71 FPS. It alleviated all of the stuttering that I had going on without resize full bar on. So, it's definitely a must-have with this card and the Arc A770 if you wanted to upgrade just a bit from the 750.

**Other Games Testing**

I went through and tested a couple other games, but I'm not going to show them off just yet. Note that the newer AAA stuff really does need it. Always like to throw at least one fighting game in, so here's Mortal Kombat 1. 1440p High settings, not bad; we're seeing some great performance here at a constant 60 FPS. I did try Ultra High and without XS enabled, we are a little under 60 there but High still looks great at 1440p, and this little setup's handling it just fine.

**Project Cars 2 Testing**

This is project cars 2, and the reason I threw it in here is because I personally still love playing it. And I haven't done a lot of testing with these older games on Arc right now. We're at very high settings 1440p; we got an average of 87 FPS but every once in a while you'll see it dip down to around 65 just through those corners when there's a lot of cars on screen. It didn't dip under, and we're seeing some decent performance here but I thought it would be a bit more.

**Red Dead 2 Testing**

I also wanted to test out Red Dead 2, so I used the built-in benchmark. We're at basically a high-medium mix with no resolution scale 1440p, and you can see here we did have a low of 18 but that was as soon as we were loading into the game. I saw it dip way down and then come right back up, but we had an average of 83, and a maximum of 122 with this one.

**Spider-Man Miles Morales Testing**

Finally, we've got Spider-Man Miles Morales. 1440p very high with no XC SS originally with resizable bar off, same exact settings I was seen an average of around 61 but I had some dips under 60 when we get to a lot of pedestrians on the street. So again, resizable bar is definitely a must for these newer games.

**Conclusion**

Overall, I think it's a really great performer given the price. We can build one of these four whether you use new or used parts; obviously using used parts may have to hunt a little more but it can bring that price way down. I priced it out around 380 or right there under 500 if you want to go all new with it like I mentioned.

**Links and Further Information**

I'll leave links to everything I used for this build in the description. Also, I'm going to hunt down some used parts but they might go fast; they'll be on eBay if you've got any questions, let me know in the comments below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on everybody it's ETA Prime back here again today we're going to be putting together a super cheap powerful PC that can play most AAA games at 1440p now there's actually a couple ways that you can go about this build if you want to get used parts you can get out for about $380 picking everything up on eBay or if you want to do new parts it's under 500 so it's right at around $485 and I got to say when planning for this build I knew we were going to see some really great performance but I'm kind of Blown Away by what this thing can do given the price point we've definitely got a few things to go over for this build and I want to get some tesing out of the way but before we get into it I do want to mention that this video is brought to you by Ur CD Keys I've actually been using this site for a couple years now they do offer steam Keys origin you play they even offer Microsoft applications like office but the main reason that I use Ur CD Keys is for their Windows keys right now their Windows 10 Pro OEM key is $19.84 but if you use code e ta at checkout you can get 25% off and another great thing about buying from here is they do accept Paypal I just did this build here I need to activate Windows I'm going to head over to my updates and security we're going to go to activation as you can see I've got Windows 10 Pro but it's not activated so I'm going to change product key I'm going to paste it in here choose next choose activate and windows is now activated we're ready to go they'll email your code once your payment is processed and that's basically it if you're interested in picking up cheap Windows 10 keys for your new pc builds I'll leave a link in the description as we're putting this thing together I will go over the parts used and I'll also leave links for everything in the description below new and used remember you can come out at two different price points with this whole setup but first things first we need to talk about the CPU and motherboard for this build I went with the ryzen 5 5600 non-x variant due to pricing right now you can pick this up new for 150 or you can even get it for around $880 over on eBay and when it comes to the motherboard I went with an Asus b550m this is the prime Edition not too bad and it does support PCI ex16 4.0 and that's going to come in really handy for the GPU we're going to be using and for the cooler I actually did a little bit of an upgrade because I bought the 5600 that I'm using used it didn't come with a cooler box looks like this it's The Wraith stealth but I'm using The Wraith Spire I got it for $18 on eBay and of course you can pick up a third party cooler that's going to work just as well but I figured I'd go all AMD with it it's going to cool this 5600 just fine 16 GB of ddr4 at 3200 MHz this is from Team Force and brand new on Amazon right now you can get this kit for around 34 bucks I've used it in the past actually the red variant same exact thing works out really well with these am4 CPUs we're also going to need some storage and there's several different options online I went with a 1 tbte Lexar pcie 3.0 in nvme SSD it's going to fit right in here and I would recommend a little m.2 cooler because this board does not come with one and of course we're going to need something to put all of this in I actually went with the N1 A3 I personally love this case and it is a bit expensive when it's not on sale but during Black Friday 2023 I picked one of these up for $54 it was definitely a deal checking out Amazon there are cases over there for $0 up to $300 you can go with whatever you like person personally I just love the look of this and it's one I've been wanting to get my hands on so I figured I'd go ahead and use it for this build I love the fact that we can actually Mount our power supply up front here and it does come with a shroud to kind of block it off just to keep it nice and clean and speaking of the power supply thermal tape smart 500 wat power supply it's a non-modular unit but they're $40 on Amazon this is going to offer more than enough power than we need for this build with the 5600 and the GPU we're going to be using here the pairing that I went with is a bit bit unconventional but uh it's actually a GPU that I personally really like I've done some testing with it in the past along with a lot of their other new gpus for this build we're actually going with the ark a750 brand new right now you can pick these up for around $180 I've seen them on eBay or you could go used with it I've seen a bunch of them and personally I love the look of the Intel first party cards all black design got a little Intel Arc logo that lights up on the side nothing fancy I think it's a super clean little card and once we've got everything together looks a little something like this nothing fancy at all we do have that Intel Arc logo that lights up on the side of the GPU and since I'm using a rat Spire cooler we do have that red outline around the cooler itself I think it goes together quite nicely and of course we could have went all out with a bunch of fans RGB but we wanted to keep this simple we wanted to keep it cheap and we wanted to get good performance out of this thing and I think this setup offers an awesome balance okay so first first things first with this Art card you definitely want to enable resizable VAR now this is in different places in a bios if you're using this Asus Prime it's right here in the easy page you want to make sure this is on it's basically going to turn it to Auto this is going to really up that GPU performance with a lot of games and I'll give you an example in just a little bit but make sure you have resizable bar enabled from your bios all right so here we are as you can see we've got that ryzen 5 5600 just six cores 12 threads uh 16 gigs of ddr4 running at 3200 MHz and of course we've got the Intel Arc a750 now there is a little bit of tweaking that I like to do with these Arc cards obviously you will want the latest Arc driver I'm using the beta driver right now and with this you get the art control center over on the left hand

cards when they first start testing them out resizable bar may be off in the Bios or they're using an older board that doesn't support it but with most of these games having it enabled really does up that frame rate and I went through and tested a couple other games I'm not going to show them off just note that the newer AAA stuff really does need it I always like to throw at least one fighting game in so here's Mortal Kombat 1 1440p High settings not bad I mean we're seeing some great performance here at a constant 60 FPS I did try ultra high and without xss enabled we are a little under 60
