If the Battlemage 980 can live up to the rumors of being as good as a 4070ti-4080 at $450-500, I would definitely pick it up. Partly out of desire for price-to-performance and partly to support another competitor in the gpu market. After all, when theres competition, the consumers win. Also I've enjoyed your videos so far and appreciate the quick but effective explanations for those that aren't familiar with all these computer parts and what they mean because a lot of these numbers, letters, and names are not intuitive and need to come from research.
A750 trades blows with the RX7600 now. You have probably viewed very old reviews with the initial drivers. Especially on 1440p with slight RT it's better for sure.
As a daily Intel Arc User (one in home lab and other in my main gaming rig) let me help you with some explaining since you're forgotten some of the stuff and seems you base your information on very outdated stuff. #1 - naming scheme, example ⇾ A750: A - name of generation, so Alchemist ⇾ Battlemage cards will start with "B" first digit ⇾ overall performance tier, literary equivalent of i3, i5 and i7 second digit ⇾ ranking of performance in that tier ⇾ the higher, the better (just like you got A750 and A770 or A310 and A380) #2 - low profile cards A310 is more of a transcode card than a gaming card - I mean you CAN game on it, but why should you when you can get A380 in a low profile variant? And for low profile market on this price range - A380 vs GTX 1650 vs RX 6400 ⇾ A380 is the best card you can get. You are not forced to a x4 gen4 PCIE, and you are not castrated from standard encoders and decoders ⇾ so already beats RX6400 You are having more features (XeSS on hardware level and even small RT capabilities) than GTX 1650 And as a cherry on top ⇾ you got 2GB extra on VRAM, both RX 6400 and GTX 1650 have only 4GB while A380 has 6GB. A380 as non-low-profile card ⇾ comparing it to RX 580 / RX 590 is just a bit wonky - it is like you would compare RTX 3050 to RTX 4060 A380 price and performance is aimed to tier of GTX 1650 and RX 6400 (both on low profile and full size market) And now the biggest bear in the house - driver and overall performance. Most of the people - and sorry to say, but based on your video, you too - are still looking at Arcs just from the prism of bad launch. Yes, launch drivers and software were bad, no lie there, but it was fixed already and Intel is keeping on promise and updating those drivers hard left and right. Just look at the "update" videos from Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed. Intel in 1 year managed to fix so much stuff, that AMD should get envy of - because like it or not, getting black screens randomly with AMD cards is still as common and random now, as it was during 2014-2017 with Polaris cards Tho it is a bit silly how both A750 and A770 are "mehh' cards for 1080p, but at 1440p and 4k they actually get a magnificent boost thanks to their wide bus while compared to other manufacturer cards. A750 in 1080p is at best on level of RTX 3060 and RX 6600 ⇾ while at 1440p it actually is the best price to performance card you can get... it is swapping punches with RX 6650 XT and RX 6700… The biggest fail in this however… Is A770 ⇾ outside 16GB of VRAM (good boost from 8GB of A750), it does not really bring that much of an upgrade compared to A750. That is why you should NEVER buy 8GB of A770 (there are SOME of those but got canceled by AiBs fast - Intel never released one) since you just pay more and get performance uplift that we could call just an error in a test. Now in 2024, after card launch, the only issue I have with my Arc cards ⇾ are overall power draw But I am very optimistic for Battlemage launch and for sure I will buy the top available model. ps. An interesting note to praise Intel on too ⇾ their mobile GPUs are using the same core count as desktop ones. A770M = A770 A750M = A750 Why am I saying this is very good thing to note on? Because Nvidia is very heavy cutting down the core count in their mobile GPUs, example: RTX 4080 = 9728 CUDA cores RTX 4080 Mobile =7424 CUDA cores ⇾ that is a number of cores between desktop 4070 Super and 4070 TI ps #2. sorry for a long comment XD
Thanks for correcting me! I didn't realize I had so much wrong. :{ I think the only decision I can defend is the comparison between the a380 and the RX580/590 GME. I know they are nothing alike in performance, but I like comparing things that are the same price, instead of their performance. ps: If you ever want to correct me again, please do. I'm growing my channel, and because of people like you, I can make sure to keep my videos accurate. Thanks!

Intel GPUs currently feel like the cool third competitor that just isn't quite there yet

NEW VID :OOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for being an AI man!
My Arc A770 works well for what I do.
As a daily Intel Arc User (one in home lab and other in my main gaming rig) let me help you with some explaining since you're forgotten some of the stuff and seems you base your information on very outdated stuff.
#1 - naming scheme, example ⇾ A750:
A - name of generation, so Alchemist ⇾ Battlemage cards will start with "B"
first digit ⇾ overall performance tier, literary equivalent of i3, i5 and i7
second digit ⇾ ranking of performance in that tier ⇾ the higher, the better (just like you got A750 and A770 or A310 and A380)
#2 - low profile cards
A310 is more of a transcode card than a gaming card - I mean you CAN game on it, but why should you when you can get A380 in a low profile variant?
And for low profile market on this price range - A380 vs GTX 1650 vs RX 6400 ⇾ A380 is the best card you can get.
You are not forced to a x4 gen4 PCIE, and you are not castrated from standard encoders and decoders ⇾ so already beats RX6400
You are having more features (XeSS on hardware level and even small RT capabilities) than GTX 1650
And as a cherry on top ⇾ you got 2GB extra on VRAM, both RX 6400 and GTX 1650 have only 4GB while A380 has 6GB.
A380 as non-low-profile card ⇾ comparing it to RX 580 / RX 590 is just a bit wonky - it is like you would compare RTX 3050 to RTX 4060
A380 price and performance is aimed to tier of GTX 1650 and RX 6400 (both on low profile and full size market)
And now the biggest bear in the house - driver and overall performance.
Most of the people - and sorry to say, but based on your video, you too - are still looking at Arcs just from the prism of bad launch. Yes, launch drivers and software were bad, no lie there, but it was fixed already and Intel is keeping on promise and updating those drivers hard left and right.

A750 in 1080p is at best on level of RTX 3060 and RX 6600 ⇾ while at 1440p it actually is the best price to performance card you can get... it is swapping punches with RX 6650 XT and RX 6700…
The biggest fail in this however… Is A770 ⇾ outside 16GB of VRAM (good boost from 8GB of A750), it does not really bring that much of an upgrade compared to A750. That is why you should NEVER buy 8GB of A770 (there are SOME of those but got canceled by AiBs fast - Intel never released one) since you just pay more and get performance uplift that we could call just an error in a test.
Now in 2024, after card launch, the only issue I have with my Arc cards ⇾ are overall power draw
But I am very optimistic for Battlemage launch and for sure I will buy the top available model.
ps.
An interesting note to praise Intel on too ⇾ their mobile GPUs are using the same core count as desktop ones.
A770M = A770
A750M = A750
Why am I saying this is very good thing to note on?
Because Nvidia is very heavy cutting down the core count in their mobile GPUs, example:
RTX 4080 = 9728 CUDA cores
RTX 4080 Mobile =7424 CUDA cores ⇾ that is a number of cores between desktop 4070 Super and 4070 TI
ps #2.
