Intel Arc A750 desktop graphics card trades blows with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 in first-party gaming benchmarks

So far, Intel's Arc line of dGPUs hasn't been able to keep up with similarly-specced products from Nvidia and AMD. We put the entry-level Intel Arc A370M through the paces and found it to be a tad lacking. Now, Intel has officially posted some benchmark scores for the high-end Arc A750 graphics card. Do bear in mind that these are first-party benchmarks, so its actual performance might differ a little.

The Intel Arc A750 test rig consisted of an Intel Core i9-12900K, Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard, 32 GB of 4,800 MT/s memory, and a Corsair MP600 Pro NVMe SSD along with Windows 11. A total of five games were tested, including F1 2021, Cyberpunk 2077, Control, Borderlands 3 and Fortnite, where the Arc A750 managed to outperform the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. All titles were tested at 2,560 x 1,440 at the 'High' preset. The difference in performance was the most apparent in F1 2021, where the Intel GPU managed to output 192 FPS compared to the RTX 3060's 164 FPS.

Little is known about the Intel Arc A750's specifications, but previous leaks suggested that it would pack 12 GB of 16 Gbps VRAM on a 192-bit bus and consume 225 Watts of power. These specs should, on paper, make it a contender for the GeForce RTX 3060, provided that Intel can sort out the numerous driver issues. There is no word about the Arc A750 will hit shelves, but it shouldn't be long, given that Intel is confident enough to showcase its performance numbers.
