We have tested almost every game in our collection on an Intel Arc GPU to determine how many titles work on Intel's discrete graphics architecture and what kind of experience you can expect.

Extremely comprehensive! I don't even want to know how long it took you to make this article. Very nice! I like the criteria that you used and the table format that makes it easy to dig into the data.

Human7, you re right . Intel dGPUs are power hogs , except A380 . I m glad I havent fallen in this trap .

Another nice article, great job guys!!!
It seems to me that in 2 GPU gens, Intel will be a worthy competitor to the entry and mid tier GPUs and if it's true, it will be a great news for consumers like us.

Great in-depth article! As someone whose last day-one game was Battlefield 3, these certainly have my attention. If my 2060 were to die today, the A770 would be on the sort list of replacements.
I'm not certain my old rig supports resizable BAR without workarounds, though, so AMD is my other option. I've used Nvidia exclusively for personal builds since I started building PCs 20 years ago (I always had driver issues when using AMD on builds for other people), but they have given up providing anything competitive in my price range.

This first gen of GPUs from Intel has been a clear success. They'll take the lessons and challenges learned from this and make BattleMage a much more refined set of products.

Are we looking at the same data here? Sure Intel's improved the driver situation from a stability standpoint but there's still a healthy performance gap between Intel's best and the 4 year old RTX 3060 Ti and RX 6700 XT.
Two cards from the established players that use less of three things:
- Your money
- Your electricity
- Your time troubleshooting
Those cards are/were more expensive than the A770 and use the same power. But hey 1 outta 3 ain't bad.

For me personally, at the time of purchase, A770 was the only AV1 hardware encoder/decoder on the market at my price range. The electricity cost is nominal since I live in the US and power is cheap compared to Europe and I’m not using the A770 all day. And while I won’t deny I have spent some time troubleshooting…that was kinda half the fun and I don’t spend any time troubleshooting at this point.

Don't know what to say. The percentage of people who always run with multiple monitors is very,very small. And for someone who never went back to using a single monitor, (let's just assume that you don't also have a laptop), the percentage is even much much smaller.
Clearly, if you only run with multiple monitors, chances are you are already running a beefier GPU than this Arc.

Whatever. Dual monitor support has been a solved problem for 30+ years. GPUs of any price level almost always come with 2+ display outputs. I get that not everybody will put them to use all the time, but then again there's no good reason to give up that option either. Decent monitors are very affordable these days and more workspace is excellent for productivity or multi-tasking, like a game on one and a video on another.
