In others, more production-focused workflows, the situation is quite a bit different.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the thing: Intel keeps updating its graphics drivers at an incredibly fast rate \u2014 in no small part because it <em>has<\/em> to.<strong> It <em>needs<\/em> to keep up with NVIDIA and AMD in order to stand even the slightest chance of being competitive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a result, the vast majority of reviews and opinion pieces and videos on the matter \u2014 the ones that were written, filmed and released mere <em>months<\/em> ago \u2014 should be ignored. <strong>They\u2019re wholly outdated and do <em>not<\/em> paint a realistic picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And, by the looks of it, even the content and data we have <em>right now<\/em> will be \u201cobsolete\u201d in the very near future.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you happen to be interested in an Intel GPU \u2014 and want to be on the safe side \u2014 make sure to read\/watch the latest coverage possible, lest you end up with a skewed view of things and an incorrect perception on just how powerful they really are.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NYlTmURzaDw?si=4_ubTxYSBC0D0a21\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/noscript><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"860\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NYlTmURzaDw?si=4_ubTxYSBC0D0a21\" class=\" lazyload\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intel_ARC_Naming_Scheme_and_Product_Breakdown\"><\/span>Intel ARC Naming Scheme and Product Breakdown<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Intel\u2019s ARC line-up, while by no means confusing, is <em>incomplete<\/em>.

The A750, on the other hand, is more of a mid-ranger.<\/p>\n<p>It's a good option for 1080p and 1440p gaming and can pack a surprising punch, especially when it comes to ray tracing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It's also <em>okay <\/em>for production workloads but nonetheless has the exact same limitations as the rest of the ARC line-up.<\/strong> Iffy drivers and unimpressive software\/hardware support are the bane of its existence.<\/p>\n<p>The A770 is basically a souped-up version of the A750 and is the very best dedicated GPU that Intel has to offer. If you\u2019re after the absolute best performance \u2014 from an Intel graphics card, at least \u2014 the 16GB variant is the one to go for.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25668\" style=\"width: 1280px\"
