Intel's Arc A770 is a flagship Alchemist graphics card based on the DG2 GPU architecture. It recently made its debut in the "Player Day" event. Intel "Player Day" event will last until September 4th. Intel not only shows players their latest hardware, but also delivers a large number of prizes through various streaming media and social networks. During their streaming campaign on Twitch, Intel has streaming people Robeytech and Cobalt Streak assemble PCs and try out their latest hardware, including the Arc A770 graphics card.
The final specifications of the PC on-site demonstration include:
CPU: Core i9-12900K
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z690-E
GPU: Intel Arc A770
Solid-state drive: Intel 660p NVMe
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5
Case: Asus TUF Gaming GT501
Hydsink: Noctua NH-U12A
Power supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G6
The last assembled computer looks as gorgeous as ever, but the most eye-catching part is undoubtedly the Intel Arc A770 limited edition graphics card, its shield is in all black color with silver tips, and a beautiful light band surrounds the shield with RGB lighting. The "Intel Arc" logo on the side also has built-in LED lighting.
In the streaming video of user JustBettor, we also saw the official packaging of the Intel Arc A770 limited edition graphics card for the first time. Open the LE model’s blue theme-centric packaging, the graphics card lies on the foam, while a tiny "Let's Play" manual guide is placed inside the top cover.
Intel Arc 7 series will feature flagship ACM-G10 GPUs, we already know about mobile models including the Arc A770M and Arc A730M. Similarly, the Arc A770 is one of the high-end products for desktop computers, equipped with a full ACM-G10 configuration, 32 Xe-Cores 4096 ALUs, and 32 ray tracing units.
In terms of clock frequency, the GPU runs at a peak increase of 2.4 GHz, which is higher than its advertised engine clock speed. At 2400MHz, the GPU should be able to provide FP32 computing power close to 20TFLOPs.
The card is powered by 16GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus interface. The GPU is powered through an 8+6-pin connector configuration, with a maximum power of 300W, although the actual TGP/TBP should be less than about 250W. The demonstration shows that the card is running around 190W.
As for performance, considering that the Arc A750 is 17% faster than the RTX 3060, we can expect the Arc A770 to perform between the NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 3070.
