Intel’s Arc A770 GPU is a robust finances contender, however some customers are reporting slower-than-expected ‘Limited Edition’ memory speeds. While the blue staff’s flagship variant is purported to have a clock speed edge in opposition to the A750 and A770 8GB, the GPU seemingly produces outcomes on par with its Alchemist counterparts.
Highlighted by Videocardz, Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition GPU customers are sharing incorrect VRAM specs over on Github. According to the shared stats, the graphics card’s memory speeds clock in at 2,000 MHz quite than 2,187MHz, whereas its bandwidth is seemingly capped at 512GB/s. The stats come courtesy of GPU-Z, however the issue reportedly exhibits up with different instruments too.
Videocardz notes that the issue isn’t broadly documented as of but, so it’s onerous to inform whether or not it’s an Intel API bug or an A770 {hardware} flaw. Techpowerup, the specialists behind GPU-Z, are at present wanting into the issue, so it hopefully received’t tarnish the GPU’s ‘Limited Edition’ branding with a new that means for lengthy.

Specs shenanigans apart, Intel Arc A7 evaluation scores counsel each the Arc A750 and A770 look like stable finances GPUs. Sure, they aren’t remotely a menace to the Nvidia RTX 4090, because the flagship isn’t actually competing in one of the best graphics card race. However, by buying and selling blows with the RTX 3060, it form of earns itself a place on the high GPU desk, particularly when you think about its value and gaming PC capabilities.
If Intel Arc can assist take one of the best low cost gaming PC choices to a new stage, the GPU model might have a future past Arc Alchemist. The blue staff earlier said that it’d launch new graphics card yearly till 2025 if all goes properly, so maybe successors like Battlemage will ultimately trip onto the sphere to problem Nvidia and AMD.
