News Yes, Intel's Feeble Arc A380 GPU Can Run Crysis

[Admin]

YouTuber PCGH Benchmarks & Analysis has tested the Arc A380 graphics card on Crysis at 1080p (1920x1080) resolution.

Umm, can one really call it feeble if it can do that? It IS Crysis, after all.

 

[rgd1101]

yeah, a 15 years old game.

 

[Phaaze88]

Yeah, but a 15 year old game that was ahead of its time.
Plus, Arc is supposedly terrible with older APIs.

 

[bit_user]

I might buy an ARC just to toy around with it. I'll probably wait for the 7-series to land.

I'm equally interested in its graphics and compute prowess. I think Intel is further along on the compute side, but we'll find out soon enough.

I hope it can run solitaire too...

That would mean it has about the power of the HD 7970, which isn't exactly a bad level of performance.

That's an 11 year old card...

Wow! great card for 2007
I wait for a card capable of running Tensorflow

The company is still optimistic that it'll be able to get desktop Arc into gamers' hands later this year.

Any time now, yep, millions of 'em.

Yes, with about the power of the modern RX 6400 based on processing power, a card AMD's AIBs sell for $150, and remember this is Intel's entry level card, so the comparison is valid.

So yes, it's not bad for a company who is no doubt giving their graphics division an unlimited budget and ending up with drivers worse than AMD (didn't think that was possible), and helmed by Raja Koduri.

 

[Alvar "Miles" Udell]

Any time now, yep, millions of 'em.

While I doubt they will get them out this year, if Intel enters the graphics market with the same bullish attitude as they did with Alder Lake, and they have the performance for at least the mainstream (1080p120 max details), I think us consumers could finally start winning again with GPU competition the same way we are doing with CPU competition.

Do note that this is the original Crysis, which came out 15 years ago, and not Crysis Remastered, which debuted two years ago.

I was so hoping they had used the new remastered version, doing it for the old version is hardly worth doing.

Legends have it, Arc can run Minecraft real good

 

[Zarax]

I found a good guess about ARC performance by replacing ARC with RX.
Imagine an alternare world where AMD kept going with GCN and Polaris and simply used smaller nodes with RT tacked on, ARC 380 does perform a lot like a RX380...

LOL, you never played minecraft yourself right?!
Or as the kids say these days... *Doubt

Regardless of the specs and the elitism of some users - if it's medium-powerful and breaks up the duopoly, we should be cheering this on. More meaningful competition means more realistic pricing. If the lowest card with naff drivers can run to the level it has, this is promising. Even if you never buy one, this could still be an incredilbly important moment for GPU pricing for the next 10 years.

Just wait 'till Chinese GPUs start hitting Western markets. That's really going to crater GPU pricing.

It'll probably be a couple more years, though.
