Using the original Reverb with updated G2 cable and face plate.
Using an Intel ARC A770 LE with a Ryzen7-5800x3D.
Sims are Assetto Corsa...Assetto Corsa Simulazioni...Automobilista...Automobilista 2...Rfactor 2...RaceRoom Edition and Live for Speed.
Seated in 40/80 profile simrig.
This level of VR is okay in my book for that A770 at $290.
I absolutely love the smoothness of the card.

100% true.
Those bad initial drivers put Intel into a deeper hole than they needed at launch.
It was always going to be an uphill battle due to it being the first discrete in a while.
Battlemage cannot repeat that scenario.
I am.
Love my A770-16.
It has been 'rock's stable and fast.
I have not encountered any stuttering whatsoever...in any of the titles I run.
Most of those titles are 2012-2013.
The A750 shouldn't even be mentioned sentence as the RTX4060. It is not even in the same ballpark pricewise and yet here we are...
I run my A770 on a B450 with re-sizeable bar on, XMP and PBO off.
The RAM timings are set to DDR4-3600, 1T, CAS 16, 19, 19, 36 at 1.38 volts.
I have no instability...
I don't do regular gaming....just racing simulations.
The videos were for the benefit of guys who do the same and are considering ARC cards.
They're plenty of gaming benchmarks. Seek those out with Google.
I will take this level of performance any day of the week for $349 over an 8 or 12 GB card with a narrow cut-down bus.
Every title I've run to date is smooth.
It may not have the peak fps as the RTX3060Ti or the RX6600 but I'll take the 'fluid' running all day and twice on Sunday over those two...
Yes on the noise and blocking....the actual gameplay footage does not have that or any stutter at all.
That A770 is extremely impressive where smoothness is concerned.
It may not be the framerate king but it more than makes up for that aspect in other areas.
I took 20 cars to Mugello...in low...
Intel ARC A770 in Assetto Corsa at the Nords.
The card is running every racing title I currently have at better levels and fps than my previous card...for around half of the price.
It is very smooth as well in most titles.
None of the big reviewers seem to have revisited ARC A-750 and A-770 after the initial 'bloodbath'.
The cards still have many quirks to be ironed out but discouraging Intel by totally ignoring the progress to date, is not a good thing.
The drivers have done some things right...especially after...
Sadly, pricing on the RTX4070Ti is what happens when people cock up and beg Nvidia to drive their virtual di*k to the hilt.
During the height of the pandemic, supply and demand ruled.
They could get away with charging whatever they wanted under the guise of shortages.
This new gouging, is...
I received my card on Wednesday evening and so far, I like the A770-16.
It is not a card for the mainstream...not yet anyway.
It still has quirks but I can work around many of those over time.
The .exe driver package proved to be a complete PITA.
It hung my system right off the bat as it was...
Our people have been programmed to believe the Chinese can only steal technology.
It is part of the indoctrination to keep hate in place.
As you've stated, that is a dangerous and short-sighted approach to take.
It is not about a 'love-fest with China. It is about reality of the situation...
AMD is in with it's biggest opportunity thus far to make massive in-roads on Nvidia's market.
What they do next will determine the percentages they take.
They had one other massive opportunity and blew it during the height of the pandemic when they neglected the gamer allocation in favor of...
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Anybody buying this card is a 'certified' idiot. No doubt of any kind remains.
Long-term wealthy people do not make stupid purchases...that is why they retain wealth.
I suspect the people buying this card are scrounging to save every penny just to do...
The whole thing is comical.
Do people really see any of this as a good value?
Nvidia, AIBs and scalpers responded to supply and demand by jacking prices through the roof.
The bottom falls out after gamers were forced to sit out Ampere due to shortages whether manufactured or otherwise.
Nvidia...
I love my 5600X.
It was purchased to replace a 3600X.
Given the bump in price at the time I purchased it from AMD Direct, it was overpriced at $299 plus tax and shipping ...so $321.
I can't complain too much though because it 'burrows' through everything I throw at it.
This is the result after...
All manufacturers...both Nvidia and AMD...are in for a rude awakening on pricing of current generation.
They seem to still want top dollar for almost two year old tech and are sticking to those numbers...despite unfavorable market conditions.
If people hold strong and not buy these products...
I am in the 'hold to see what happens' camp on GPUs.
With slightly lower demand this time out, there is a much better chance to score what you want...with patience.
Chances are, people won't be able to buy an Nvidia 4000 or AMD 7000 series within the first two months due to the 'new shine'...
This would make anybody spitting mad to the point of violence.
You buy a pc...it has an issue and so you send it to a company for repair, only to have it sold at auction to cover a repair facility's bankruptcy?
At the very least, the people should be able to submit their repair orders to...
Nvidia's Shadowplay recording in GeForce Experience is now broken more than not.
Every time you try to launch it, the infamous 0x00003 error pops up after the few successful initial uses at driver installation.
It is still one of the smoothest, best recording suites....when it works....but that...
I'm thinking that as well...given the specifications of the top-tier.
It is a rather vicious catch 22.
On the one hand... Intel knows they only get one opportunity at making a good impression and have to release these cards with the best performance to price ratio possible.
On the other hand...
Sounds like it is time to replace the 'leader' of the driver team with somebody more capable in pulling together talented software engineering.
Intel is a massive company with lots of revenue and resources.
Given the importance of this task (with regard to potential long-term revenue) major...
Question is: How would they know if a card has been used for mining...without some type of onboard usage tracking utility.
Humans are some of the most despicable animals on the planet.
To think somebody could unsuspectingly buy one of these cards and pay full price....thinking they got a new...
