Intel Compares Arc A750 with RTX 3060 With Latest Driver Update
Intel has released a couple of new performance slides for the Arc A750, claiming better performance per dollar than RTX 3060 with the latest driver update. Intel has been pushing hard to improve its Arc GPU drivers, both fixing issues, bringing Game On support, and performance improvements. The latest Arc GPU Graphics Drivers 101.4311 beta update brought several Game On optimizations as well as some performance uplifts, mostly focused on the Arc A750 and DirectX 12, ranging from 4 percent up to 63 percent, depending on the game and the resolution.
Although the Arc A750 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory has less memory than the RTX 3060 which comes with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory, bear in mind that the Arc A750 has a 256-bit memory interface compared to a 192-bit one on the RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card, leaving it with a higher 512 GB/s maximum memory bandwidth. The Intel Arc A750 is also less expensive, retailing at $249, compared to RTX 3060 12 GB, which sells at around $350.According to Intel's own slides, the latest driver update brought decent performance improvements in several games, but more importantly, it is enough to give the Intel Arc A750 an edge, pushing it ahead of the RTX 3060 12 GB graphics card, at least in Dead Space Remake game. Although Intel has listed a bit of a higher price for the RTX 3060 12 GB, Arc A750 still offers higher performance per dollar, at least in some games. Of course, NVIDIA always has the RT and DLSS aces up its sleeve.
The Intel Arc A750 was pretty high on the performance per dollar in our review back in October last year, even when it was priced at $290, and with the recent driver updates, it is an even better choice.

If intel had developed a good integrated video card, then add on video cards would be needed only for mid to high end gaming.
But as many have stated, RX6400/6500 were never meant to be stand-alone cards. You can't take those as a reference towards other Radeons. IMO RX6400/6500 should just be avoided.
Also about Kodi, I'm using it for a good 5 years and sometimes things just break in some updates. Like the horrible v20 release. You can't blame any Kodi problems to anyone else but the Kodi devs.
Kodi didn't break anything, it was working pretty good and some day, AMD updated their drivers, and boom, no more Hardware Acceleration in Kodi (just some videos work, 90% of my videos doesn't)
The same scenario applies to video cards. They sell cheaper because their video cards can compete with nVidia only in rasterization. For Content Creation offers are almost non-existent. The classification is done according to performance. You don't have an enthusiastic video card if you buy an RX 6500XT at the price of an RX 6950XT.. :confused:
Processors receive the classification from the manufacturer: i/r 3, 5, 7 and 9.
For video cards, in the same series, we have: lowest/entry/middle/mainstream/high/enthusiast
Prices may vary from one country to another.
For example, for me, I think I would be a complete idiot to choose the 6700XT over the 4070. The RTX 4070 compares to the 6800/6900 in rasterization and surpasses the entire 6000 series in the others (ray tracing, CUDA, enc/dec support, etc. ).
We chose the lowest prices.
For the intel ARC 750, it's really great to see intel continuing to improve their driver. Well, we will have heard that they stopped making dGPU by now if the driver was not updated but I hope that i could consider 3 GPU manufacturer when it will be time to upgrade.
Unfortunately I won't go back to AMD because support is useless, the simple tasks that I'm looking for, AMD doesn't have it and doesn't care to fix it. I don't care anymore, I'm back to Nvidia.
The performance is not the problem, is faster than my 1050ti, the drivers are the problem.
