The Intel Arc A750 offers solid 1080p performance and features a sleek matte black design with its Limited-Edition card. With only 8GB of GDDR6 memory, it struggles at times with newer games and professional applications. Performance can be inconsistent across games depending on the title and DirectX support. With lowered quality settings it can handle 1440p gaming in most games. System support for Resizable BAR is a requirement for best performance.
After numerous and significant driver updates, we expected the A750 to be closer to the A770 in performance but tested closer to the A580. LABS tested the Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition 8GB, which is still available online. It is priced at an MSRP of $249.99 USD for the Limited Edition with partner cards offering similar performance as low as $199.99 USD at various online retailers.
The Intel Arc series, the A770, A750, and A580, offer similar price-to-performance ratios. Due to fluctuating market prices, it is advisable to buy the higher-tier card if it is available at a lower price than the previous model.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
THE GOOD
- Price
It can be found as low as $199.99 USD from partner manufacturers on various online retailers
THE BAD
- Memory
Limited by its 8GB of memory, with no 16GB option available, which is insufficient for modern games
- DisplayPort
Would like to see support for DisplayPort version 2.1
THE REST
- Overall
The A770, A750, and A580 provide comparable value for their cost. Because of changing market prices, it's recommended to opt for the higher-tier card if it costs less than the one below it.
Intel's Xe HPG architecture powers the Arc series, featuring a unique structure divided into "render slices". The A750 contains 7 render slices, totaling 3584 shaders, 28 ray tracing processors, and 448 matrix processors. This setup allows for some graphics upsampling and very light machine learning workflows, as well as support for 1080p gaming performance.
The Intel Xe HPG graphics processor is built with 21,700 million transistors within a 406 mm² die, 112 render output units (ROPs), and 224 texture mapping units. The card has a dual-slot, dual-fan design that fits in most computer cases but is relatively large for its performance class. it has a TDP of 225W, which is higher than most 1080p cards.

The A750 utilizes Intel's XeSS graphics upscaling technology, comparable to AMD's FSR2.0. It supports up to DirectX 12 Ultimate, H.264 Encode/Decode, H.265/HEVC Encode/Decode, and AV1 Encode/Decode. However, full performance support for certain DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 titles is still inconsistent but improving with driver updates. Enabling Resizable BAR in BIOS settings is essential.
Intel's Arc Control Center program offers three display-sync technologies: Adaptive Sync, Speed Sync, and Smooth Sync. Adaptive Sync functions like V-Sync, Speed Sync reduces frame latency to prevent image tearing, and Smooth Sync applies a filter to mask screen tearing.
We will periodically retest graphics cards with updated drivers. We continuously monitor and update our results for accuracy. Stay tuned for the latest test results and insights on this product and others as we aim to provide up-to-date information on a consistent basis.
We actively address test bench variance in our evaluation process. Our methodology involved validation and calibration procedures to ensure consistency and reliability across all tests. The verified testbed variance for benchmarks in this product page is +/- 0.25%.
By monitoring and controlling variables such as hardware configurations, ambient temperatures, and system settings, we minimize potential sources of variance that could affect our results. This detailed approach enables us to deliver the most objective and accurate assessments.
