Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition 8GB PCI Express 4.0 Graphics Card

I like its design and it is functional. I have already bought two and I love them.

I purchased the Intel Arc A750 in December 2023 as a Christmas gift for my 10-year-old son. We paired it with a 34-inch 1440p 165Hz monitor, an Intel Core i3-13100, and 16GB of DDR5-4800 memory.After months of use, I can confidently say this card has exceeded our expectations. At 1440p, it runs every game my son has played smoothly and without stutter. Many people online complained about Intel’s drivers, but in our experience, they’ve been rock solid, we haven’t run into any hiccups.Yes, the card puts out heat, but what GPU doesn’t? Stability has been top-notch, and performance has been excellent for the price point. Power consumption has also been surprisingly efficient: around 225 watts under gaming load, and under 50 watts at idle.I purposely waited before writing this review to give the card time to prove itself, and it has. The Intel Arc A750 deserves praise for its gaming capability, stability, and efficiency. My son and I couldn’t be happier with it.

A few months after intel had released their ARC graphic card, the price has finally come to an appropriate range. The card's appearance is very pretty, and the quality is also brilliant. The performance was way better than expected, and it does its works on gaming at it price, especially after so many times of driver updates (still could do better on dx 11 and below). I have no heavy load for this card, but want it to run almost 24/7 for easy works. I wasn't expecting it to run very quietly, but the card surprises me by making almost no noise when doing my jobs. Even under full occupation, the card is still much quieter than every video card I have ever used.As the cost of the noise level, the temperature is not very ideal. It could reach almost 90 °C/194 °F under full gpu occupation. The temperature still remains pretty cool under normal use and for my works though, such that I'm planning on installing an ITX platform, after my preferred itx case becomes available.However, Amazon was not very responsible for selling NEW cards, for the package that I received was apparently an open-box, and not a very clean one. I understand that the card was returned frequently in early days, and I could accept used cards, but is it appropriate to resell these returned-and-opened items by pretending them to be the new ones, Amazon? Or is it that I overlooked some descriptions for "New" items?

Strengths1. Very sleek looking card (not looking either cheap or gaudy)2. Graphical power roughly equivalent to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 (so expect at a minimum to get 60 FPS in 1080P in most titles, with some less demanding games being playable up to 4K).3. Fairly quiet when the card is under load in my opinion.-Weaknesses1. Is more power hungry than AMD and NVIDIA at this performance level. I feel this is the card's biggest weakness. Case in point:The A750 is barely able to run Genshin Impact at 4K max settings at 60 FPS. I initially had a 600W PSU, but when playing the game with it in the most graphically intensive scenarios, the PSU woulds be unable to provide enough power and it would shut off the computer entirely. I was forced to buy a higher wattage PSU in order to alleviate the problem. While this will ultimately vary depending on your set up (having 3 RGB case fans probably doesn't help) I highly recommend having at least a 700W PSU if you plan on doing any 4K gaming with the A750.2. As mentioned by other reviewers, the A750 is a bad drop in upgrade for old systems. This is due to requiring a PCI-4 Express slot and ReSizable BAR being required for optimal performance. If you are looking to upgrade a system from roughly 2018 or earlier you are best going for AMD or NVIDIA instead.3. From what I heard the Intel Arc Series is weaker in older games that use DX9 or DX10 (I don't typically play such games so I wouldn't know.-SummaryAssuming this being used in a new build, the Limited Edition (Intel's Reference) model of the A750 is great value for the money at the current price of $180. Nvidia cards in this performance tier tends to be overpriced. AMD is better priced but has weaker Ray tracing report. The A750 is lower priced than offerings from both of it's competitors which is its biggest strengths. No matter if your looking for a GPU for a secondary computer or your making a budget primary build, the A750 is well a purchase.

Great performance for the price. Sofware upgrades usually come about once a month.
