Intel Arc Graphics Price Cut...
Intel's Arc discrete graphics cards may not match the pure performance of Nvidia or AMD GPUs, but they offer excellent value for their price. The Arc A750 is particularly noteworthy as it is considered the best 1080p graphics card for ray tracing. Initially priced at $289, it was permanently reduced to $250 a few months ago. Now, it has received another significant price drop, down to $199.99.
This new price has been confirmed by the official Intel store on Newegg and is also reflected on the Best Buy online listing. However, it is unclear whether this reduction is a permanent change or a limited-time promotion. At this price, the Arc A750 is the first card in the A7xx series to fall below the $200 threshold. It presents a compelling option for those seeking a budget GPU, as Intel's cards often outperform their competitors at the same price range.
In terms of performance, the A750 is on par with the AMD Radeon RX 6600, which is priced similarly, but it surpasses it in ray tracing capabilities. Initially, concerns about Intel's drivers may have deterred potential buyers, but the company has consistently improved them since the card's release.
While the newly released Radeon RX 7600 offers better performance and is priced at $269, the discounted price of the Arc A750 may be the reason for its availability. For users with a limited budget and in need of a desktop GPU upgrade, the Arc A750 remains an incredibly attractive option. The duration of the discount is unknown, so it is advisable to act quickly if interested in purchasing.
