Intel Arc A770: specs and benchmarks

Summary

Intel started Arc A770 sales 12 October 2022 at a recommended price of $329. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Generation 12.7 architecture and made with 6 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 16 GB of GDDR6 memory clocked at 16 GB/s are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 4.0 x16 interface. One 6-pin and one 8-pin connectors are required, and power consumption is at 225 Watt.
