Our full Arc A770 review wades into the topsy-turvy performance results, but we’ve plucked out a few benchmarks to illustrate head-to-head performance between these two cards. If you haven’t upgraded your CPU and motherboard in the last few years, the GeForce RTX 3060 is the preferable upgrade. Keep in mind you’ll need a newer system that supports PCIe Resizable BAR or Smart Access Memory to take full advantage of the Intel Arc performance, which may limit some gamers with older hardware. On the flip side, if you want to play DX11 games-which most legacy games and non-triple-A games use-it’s better to skip Arc, for now. The Arc A770 delivers very competitive results in many newer DirectX 12 and Vulkan games. Other times, it is endlessly frustrating, with performance issues and instability causing major woes. This is what everyone has been waiting for – what can Intel do against the established competition? Sometimes, it’s fantastic, punching well above its weight.

Thiago Trevisan Nvidia RTX 3060 vs Intel Arc A770 LE: Performance The win most definitely goes to the RTX 3060 for price and availability this round, as they’re readily available. Looking around as of today, they’ve fairly difficult to find in stock and seem to already have higher pricing on the secondhand marketplaces. My local Microcenter seemed to get roughly four or five units each of the A750 and A770, and that’s where I snapped up this Arc A770 16GB LE version for MSRP. We’d guess that’s because of more limited stock numbers rather than loads of buyers picking them up, however. Intel’s graphics card is very difficult to find, having sold out quickly upon its release. The Intel Arc A770 LE, or “Limited Edition,” isn’t really supposed to be limited-it’s just a brand name, like Nvidia’s rival “Founders Edition” GPUs-but it seems like it. The RTX 3060 can be found easily from many retailers in stock, but you’ll still be likely paying slightly more than the $329 MSRP retail. Can you really find these GPUs at these prices? Not really, not even with the current soft market for graphics cards.
