One Of The Best Lower Cost GPUs You Can Buy Right Now! ARC A750 Hands On

**Testing the Intel Xe Graphics Card: A Hands-On Review**

The Intel Xe graphics card is a powerful device that can handle a wide range of tasks, from 4K gaming to emulation. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the Xe's performance in various games and applications.

One of the first tests we conducted was with Assassin's Creed Odyssey at Ultra quality settings. We were able to achieve an average frame rate of 76 FPS, with a low of 56 FPS. While this is still playable, it's worth noting that the game can be played at higher resolutions without any issues. To further test the Xe's capabilities, we reduced the resolution to 1080p and turned off scaling. This resulted in an average frame rate of 94 FPS, with a low of 63 FPS.

We also tested God of War at 1440p high settings, with no scaling enabled. The game was able to run smoothly, achieving an average frame rate of 75 FPS. In contrast, Cyberpunk 2077 was not as fortunate, with a 1440p medium setting without scaling struggling to maintain a consistent frame rate.

To further test the Xe's capabilities, we also conducted some emulation tests using PS3 through rpcs3. We took Skate 3 to 4K resolution and were able to run it smoothly, thanks in part to the A750 GPU's powerful performance.

**Choosing Between the Intel Xe Graphics Card and an RTX 3070**

When choosing between the Intel Xe graphics card and an RTX 3070, there are several factors to consider. The Xe is a more affordable option, with prices ranging from $250 for a used model up to $350 for a high-end variant. However, it's worth noting that the Xe does not offer the same level of performance as the RTX 3070, especially in demanding games.

In our testing, we found that the Xe was able to run some games at higher resolutions than expected, but struggled with more demanding titles. On the other hand, the RTX 3070 offered significantly better performance, even with lower settings. If budget is a concern, the Xe may be a viable option. However, if you're looking for maximum performance and don't mind spending a bit more money, the RTX 3070 is likely a better choice.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Intel Xe graphics card offers impressive performance in many areas, especially when it comes to emulation and running games at lower resolutions. However, it's not quite as powerful as some of its high-end competitors, such as the RTX 3070. If you're looking for a more affordable option that can still deliver great performance, the Xe may be worth considering. On the other hand, if you're willing to spend a bit more money, the RTX 3070 offers significantly better performance and is likely a better choice.

**E-GPU Testing with the Intel A750**

In our next video, we'll be testing the Intel A750 in an eGPU setup using Thunderbolt and USB4. This will allow us to take advantage of the high-speed connectivity and test the Xe's capabilities in a real-world scenario. We'll also be exploring how the Xe performs when used with different handheld consoles and devices that support USB 40 Gig. Stay tuned for more information on this upcoming video.

**Recommendation**

If you're interested in purchasing an Intel Xe graphics card, we recommend doing your research and considering your specific needs. While the Xe is a powerful device, it may not be suitable for all users. On the other hand, if you're looking for a high-end option that offers maximum performance, the RTX 3070 is likely a better choice.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enforeign back here again today we're going to be testing out the Intel Arc a750 GPU now the price on this brand new is 249 dollars and from what I've seen so far it's actually not a bad deal for the price on a new GPU and Intel has actually been on a roll updating drivers for these new arc gpus and when it comes down to it we've got AMD Nvidia and now we've got a new competitor to the modern day dedicated GPU Market which is Intel so they do have a lot to gain when it comes to drivers AMD and Nvidia already have a really nice fleshed out ecosystem when it comes to their drivers for their gpus and of course with newer drivers for both AMD and Nvidia we do see a boost in performance but I think with Intel being so new to the dedicated GPU game with their newer drivers I think we're going to see even better performance down the road now I will tell you I do think that this is one of the best looking graphics cards on the market right now it's the Intel Arc a750 Limited Edition version and personally I just just think it looks really good we've got that black and silver design no RGB but we do have that Intel Arc lit logo over on the side little Plain Jane for some people but personally I think it looks really good inside of a system now obviously I've already got this installed in one of my PCS but another reason I wanted to pick this up was for external GPU usage I actually wanted to test out Intel Arc externally over Thunderbolt 3 Thunderbolt 4 and usb4 so definitely keep an eye on the channel because I will have a video like that coming up but with this one here I've paired it up with one of my favorite little builds we've got an Intel i5 13600k 32 gigabytes of ddr5 running at 6 400 megahertz a two terabyte Kingston Fury nvme SSD an ASRock z790 Tai Chi Carrera motherboard 800 watt Corsair power supply this is going to be running Windows 11 Pro and of course the Intel Arc a750 we've got eight gigabytes of gddr6 28 XE cores it's got a base clock of 2000 50 megahertz but I've seen it boost up to 2400 megahertz and that's kind of where it stays to tell you the truth I'm not sure if it's because of the special edition but I have tested the a770 it was an ASRock version and it boosted up to the same clock there given the build here we're not going to be held back by the CPU at all when it comes to gaming so we can really get the full potential out of this a750 so with all that out of the way let's go ahead and see how this thing performs we're going to be starting out here with Spider-Man Miles Morales and for this one I did want to show you the settings because I was really surprised that the a750 could do this we're at 1440p high settings no resolution scale we're not using any kind of XE SS FSR or dynamic so we'll just go down the board here you can see all of that's turned off we're at 1440p and we've got it set to high so at 1440p high settings with no scaling we can actually get an average of 78 FPS out of this game so far what I found with this card here it's a good 14 40p high setting card or 1080p Ultra so we're not looking at you know 40 90 or even 40 80 performance here but the price doesn't reflect that either coming in brand new at 249 not bad so far next thing I wanted to take a look at were a few benchmarks and first up we've got geekbench 6 opencl so this is just testing the a750 we got a total score of 95 181 now this also supports Ray tracing but of course it's not going to be on par with something like an Nvidia 4000 series but I did run the 3dmark DirectX Ray tracing feature test and our average frame rate here was 29.81 FPS Next Up 3D Mark fire strike with a 28 326 and the final one here is time spy with a 13 370. taking a look at that graphic score we're right there close to 13 000 just on the GPU itself so overall not looking bad so far with these Sim Aesthetics but I did want to test out some more real world gaming to see what this thing can really do so here we have Injustice 2 4K High settings I went into this hoping we could do very high 4K you know basically maxed out but unfortunately at very high settings it was dipping down to around 57 FPS when there was lots of particles on screen of course you can mix this up with a very high high setting at 4K but I just took it all the way down to high here and we're getting a constant 60 out of it personally I really can't tell the difference between very high and high at 4K with this game I still think it looks absolutely amazing dirt 5 is when I always like to test we're at 1440p high settings and I actually wasn't expecting to get this kind of frame rate out of it we got an average of 98 FPS and this is with no Dynamic resolution scale so I do think we could go up to very high settings with this at 1440p and kind of lock it right there at 60. but yeah this is one of those games that gives a lot of gpus and CPUs a run for its money but it's fully playable here at 1440p on the a750 moving over to Eldon ring 1440p Max settings so I was super excited going in here but uh you'll see afterburner dipped down to around 57 FPS every once in a while I probably wouldn't notice the dip if I didn't have a frame counter on but you know I wanted to show you this because at Max settings there is a chance in some situations you'll get under 60. thank you I know that GTA 5 is definitely an older game but personally I still like playing single player mode so I do like testing it out we're maxed out here very high all the way across the board 1440p and I'm getting an average of 172 FPS so I figured 4K isn't out of the question here at very high settings so I just went ahead turned the resolution up still at very high and we can now average 103 FPS with this game I know it's older but I still wanted to show it because there are people out there that still love playing this game like myself I also wanted to test Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I also wanted to test Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and I like using the built-in Benchmark just goes over a lot of stuff here and with this game here it left me wanting a little more with the a750 I expected it to do a bit better so with the first run here I'm at 1440p but I used recommended settings and as you can see the rendering resolution did go down to 76 percent we're at Ultra quality with uh Intel xcss we got an average of 76 FPS and a low of 56. of course I mean this is still really playable like it is but I wanted a bit more out of it so I went ahead and took the resolution down to 1080p turned scaling off completely and we got an average of 94 FPS and our low was over 60. coming in at 63. now there's no doubt we could run this at 1440p but we'll have to take some of those settings down to medium and even low so 1080 is really where it's at with this game here I also wanted to test out God of War 1440p high no scaling we got an average of 75 FPS so I thought we'd be able to run this at 1440p high settings and if you needed more out of it of course we've got resolution scale that we can mess around with you can do the static scale or you could use FSR it's really up to you but it's fully playable at 1440p High in the final PC game we have here is cyberpunk 2077 1440p medium without any scaling on high is a little out of the question at 1440p but you could always go up there at 1080. but with it set up like this we got an average of 74 FPS personally I just don't like using scaling I don't mind using it myself in my free time but when I'm doing these tests I kind of like to have it off just to see what these things can really do now there was one last thing I wanted to do here and just check out a little bit of emulation with PS3 using rpcs3 of course we've got the I5 13600k which is going to run any emulator that you can throw at it right now but your GPU Choice does play a big role in upscaling these from native resolutions or even running them at Native resolutions so what I did here was take this up to 4K and if you're familiar with this PS3 emulator you know Skate 3 is a harder one to emulate but uh it looks like this art a750 can definitely handle PS3 emulation at 4K quite well there's a lot of other emulators I'd actually like to test with this GPU so if you're interested in seeing a video like that let me know in the comments below but remember I mean if we paired this up with a third gen Intel CPU we wouldn't be able to run this at 4K it wouldn't even run this game because the CPU is playing a huge role when it comes to emulation to tell you the truth going into this I wasn't expecting much out of the a750 and it really comes down to listening to other people of course when it comes to choosing let's say an RTX 3070 or the a750 I would go with the RTX 3070 all day long it's going to give us much better performance but we can't buy a brand new RTX 3070 for 250 dollars you definitely have to go used with it and right now if you take a look at eBay used 3070s are going anywhere from 330 up to 375 depending on the variant and even 30 60 tis are 300 to 350 dollars used right now actually there is one gigabyte for 329 which really isn't a bad deal but there's been a lot of people out there making these out to be uh you know very low end carts that can't even do 1080p and I'm really impressed by the a750 for what we have here I can personally recommend something like this if you know what you're getting into but you know if you've got the extra money I would pick up a 30 70 for sure but that's going to wrap it up for this one really appreciate you watching I will have one more video coming up with the Intel a750 I want to test this in my egpu dock we're going to test over Thunderbolt and usb4 and one of the big reasons I like these e-gpus is because we've got a lot of new handhelds on the market that are powered by ryzen and they do support 40 gig usb4 so we can connect an e-gpu and basically turn it into a full-fledged gaming PC so if you're interested in seeing a video like that make sure you hit that subscribe button and think about turning notifications on so you know when I post the next one and I'll also leave some links Down Below in case you want to learn more or maybe even pick up an Intel a750 but that's it for this one like always thanks for watching\n"
