Looking for a New GPU

I am looking for a new GPU, and I came across the Intel Arc A750. I am currently looking to upgrade my current GPU (GTX 1660 Super), and the Arc looked like a decent option. It was not only one of the only GPUs that was in my budget, but it was one of the only ones with a decent price to performance. Does any one have any experience with the card and if so, is it any good? Also, I am open to other GPU recommendations as well. My budget is about $200.

Depends on what you're playing, Arc suckd with old games and newest ones lol

Plus you need to have a Rebar compatible CPU

Really a 6600 is a more sensible choice 

AMD R9  7950X3D CPU/ Asus ROG STRIX X670E-E board/ 2x32GB G-Skill Trident Z Neo 6000CL30 RAM / ASUS TUF Gaming AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Edition GPU/ Phanteks P600S case /  Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 ARGB cooler/  2TB WD SN850 NVme + 2TB Crucial T500  NVme  + 4TB Toshiba X300 HDD / Corsair RM850x PSU/ Alienware AW3420DW 34" 120Hz 3440x1440p monitor / ASUS ROG AZOTH keyboard/ Logitech G PRO X Superlight mouse / Audeze Maxwell headphones

I have an A750 and it's been pretty solid the last few months.

 

That being said, arc is heavily dependent on the games you play.

 

You need to do research into the specific games you want to play and see if arc will work for them.

Depending on game, the performance gain is very low, and it's odd that you'd even be looking for a new GPU if you have 1660 Super, not exactly a slow GPU by any means..

The a750 is like more of a sidegrade. As the 1660 super is either faster than it or at worst 30% slower than it. Because the arc is still new and not fully optimized.

 

In anything before dx12 flat out the gtx stomps the arc. In anything new it's a cointoss. Even when it works PERFECTLY 200$ for a maybe 30% upgrade not worth.

 

For 200$ you aren't going to really move much past a 1660 super.
