My 980gtx lasted 8 years until I sold it on eBay last year.
Im not a big time gamer anyway. I decided on the A770 because I have a Canon 1dx Mark II that records video up to 4K and I figured the Intel card could do a good job for video editing software.
Had it for about 12 hours, sent it back to B&H for a full refund. Not gonna spend half my life tryna get the damned thing to run even 10 minutes on Ghost Recon Gold. Hell my onboard Intel video plays it at full 1440 and max everything but the A770 would lock up in 10 minutes and my system ran very hot. Not worth a near 400 dollar headache. IMHO. Ill just stick with the onboard UH750 untill hell freezes over or prices come down. LOL
Drivers have vastly improved these cards and I believe they are $300-ish today
Of course. And if you didnt know it will only work with Display port 2.0 on your monitor. At least that was the way it was on my monitor which only has version 1.4. It didnt work at all on those ports with my LG so I could only use HDMI
Yes he seems to have a stable environment and Im glad for him.
I try the 32bit and 64bit DXVK files before I give up on a game. So far only one game hasn't run, and a couple are less than what I'd like. ARC is still a mixed bag, no doubt about it. I am posting on the system now; I have been using it as my main system for right at a month. Black Hawk Down was the only game that didn't run. OG Crysis is not up to par, same with a couple of other games. Newer games are excellent.
I would like to see Intel bring some more uplift to the ARC cards performance. Obviously compatibility is important for old games. Has Intel's last few driver releases plateaued? Or are the making real world improvements with each new driver?
Ehhh, no. The A770 is faster than a 3060 and is especially good at 1440p, beating a 6600 XT. That is perfectly fine, if the price is good.
They continue to improve with every iteration. Wherever they concentrate their efforts, good things are happening. For instance: they just massively improved performance in Assassin's Creed Unity and F1 '22.
Howz the fan noise? Does it get annoyingly loud when playing at Ultra settings with 4K XeSS in a modern title? (I'm assuming the XeSS would invoke the AI accelerator portion of the GPU, causing it to heat up more than usual)
I don't have a 4K display. 1440 is it. But I have only used the A750 at 1080 to date. Modern games have no problem getting it to full utilization to stress it.
You should try 1440p. It might give higher fps than 1080p coz their architecture flies higher the more pixels it has to work with.
I'm terrible at that kind of evaluation. Can't say. I do know I can't take the noise levels of PCs, that I once thought of as normal. I am not a silent PC guy, but quiet is a must. It was hard to make myself buy a RX 6800 because of the 2 power connectors, which usually means heat and noise levels I don't like. But the XFX is so overbuilt it has not been an issue.
Yeah, I have seen the benchmarks. I don't like sitting in the office chair any longer than necessary. My knees start to hurt after a couple of hours. Can't spend 43yrs+ throwing eleventy million kicks and not have to deal with it. Having my feet up here in the power recliner typing on my ROCCAT is therapeutic. I am putting off my 4K gaming TV for reasons unknown even to myself.
Whenever I feel some pain in my knees, I walk backwards back and forth in my room. Seems to help.
