Intel Arc "Battlemage" B770 GPU Support Lands in Popular AIDA64 Tool
More confirmations regarding the final release of the Intel Arc "Battlemage" B770 GPU have landed, this time with the update of the popular AIDA64 tool. Just days after support for BMG-G31 GPUs, supposedly the SKUs behind the higher-end B770 and B750 models, has landed in the open-source Mesa driver, diagnostic tools are next. In the latest AIDA64 beta version 7.99.7817, FinalWire has added an interesting "GPU information for Intel Battlemage (BMG-G31)" section as a feature update. This means that the tool can now officially recognize Intel's upcoming GPUs and allow users to perform diagnostics. Additionally, the tool also supports the now finalized PCI Express 7.0 controllers and devices, as PCI-SIG has ratified the final specifications of the PCIe Gen 7 standard.
With this confirmation, higher-end Intel Arc B770 and B750 GPUs are getting more credibility for an actual release. We expect to hear more about it in the coming weeks as the rumored Q4 launch nears. Earlier rumors suggest that Intel will pair 32 Xe2 cores for the B770 model with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. Will Intel satisfy the needs of Arc graphics gamers who have been waiting for a higher-end card remains to be seen. Drop your expectations in the comments, and let us know.

8 Comments on Intel Arc "Battlemage" B770 GPU Support Lands in Popular AIDA64 Tool
Arc B750 16 GB $299 (guess)
Arc B770 16 GB $349 (guess)
Radeon 9060XT 16 GB $349
Geforce 5060Ti 16 GB $429
Radeon 9070 16 GB $549
Radeon 9070XT 16 GB $599
Geforce 5070Ti 16 GB $749
Geforce 5080 16 GB $999
If you consider all of the above in your purchasing decision, then the entire GPU price range is basically 16 GB.
The fact that we're seeing AIDA64 support for BMG-G31 could mean that an Arc Pro SKU with that chip is coming (more VRAM, higher margins), and not the B770 consumer SKU.
It could still be that Intel saw Nvidia fumbling Blackwell and decided it was a good opportunity to bring consumer G31 back from the dead, but with Intel's CEO claiming they're only going to bring new products if they have 50%+ margins I'm not so sure that would be happening.
I vaguely remember at some point reading something from W1zzard explaining why those numbers can come out pretty different but I can't for the life of me recall any specifics or if I'm just imagining that.
That's not just stupid, its fucking retarded. No dev is going to even consider that capacity going forward. If you can still run low in 2027, you can rub your hands I reckon.
