Pros:- Constant driver updates- Consistent development that gets rid of bugs- Performance in DX12 and Vulkan APIs considerably better than the competition- Price proposition- AV1 video encoding at a hardware level
Cons:- DX11 and DX9 games run well, but slightly trail RTX 3060- Ray tracing capabilities need some optimisation- Intel Arc Control needs to be polished- Lack of RGB may prove to be “a bit boring for some people”

The GPU market has been dominated by NVIDIA for years now. Yes, there are times when AMD would come up with a Radeon GPU every now and then that would pose a major threat to NVIDIA’s GeForce GPUs back in the day, and now the RTX series cards.

Speaking of connecting to your PC, the Intel Arc series GPU is really meant for PCs that support ReBAR or Resizable BAR. It is one of the key features that allows Intel GPUs to really stretch its legs and show just how capable it is as a GPU. The downside is, that it isn’t exactly that capable with CPUs before Intel’s 9th Generation. We will explain this in a little detail, later.
As for connectivity options, the Arc A750 has a wide range of ports for you to choose from. It has 3 Displayport 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port.
Intel has designed the Arc A750 as well as the A770 GPUs with a particular focus on streamers. That is why you get support for hardware-accelerated media like AV1, HEVC, H.264, VP9 etc.
