Now for the bad news. The Arc A750 faces some stiff competition, primarily from AMD. The launch of the Radeon RX 7600 may not have been terribly exciting, but that little card continues to impress as a 1080p solution. At $269 USD the RX 7600 is very hard to ignore, with the Limited Edition Arc A750 we tested listed at $249. However, if you shop around this Arc GPU can be found for less – it’s currently on sale for $219.99 at B&H Photo, for example.
Beyond sales like the one mentioned above, street prices in general seem to be lower than the $249 list for the A750, with a quick Newegg search producing an ASRock model for $229.99 and a new SPARKLE card for $239.99. Those prices, along with the promise of ever-better performance via a very aggressive driver update strategy (it feels like there’s a new driver almost every week), make the Arc A750 a very tempting option.
I’m happy to see Intel continue to work hard on Arc graphics. Consumers need an alternative to the new “normal” of $400 1080p GPUs. I’d rather spend $249 (or less), and I daresay I’m not alone. This Arc A750 would be awfully nice at $199, too. There are deals to be had, and it’s a solid product. I found that it just works. Also, if you find it on sale, the more you buy, the more you save. So just buy it.
