Depending on where you go, it was always that. See Gamers Nexus. Given that Alchemist is Intel's first foray into GPUs, drivers being broken out of the gate was kind of expected. Not a good thing, but they had to launch the product one way or another.
it was always just broken drivers, whether it be intel or amd or whatever. the fine wine thing just started out as copium from radeon fans because the radeon driver team almost never released drivers on launch day that actually used the card's full potential (apart from the rx 6000 series, which was actually pretty good in that respect).
Well, tbf, they weren't broken from release, they worked. Then they made improvements over time, and gave those improvements to you for free, so I guess it depends on how you look at it.
@@jeffvanstoneI don't know about you, but having to reinstall Windows 10 just to update the drivers doesn't constitute "working" in my opinion. Arc drivers are in a much better place now, but at least until December of last year, they were a dumpster fire.

I was at Microcenter yesterday picking up parts for a new pc for myself since the kids took over all of my other pcs. I couldn't quite afford a decent gpu yet and I saw the A380 and thought. Na I'll wait.
I also own that Gunnir A380. I don't know what kind of configuration you have but mine is running around 10 to 15fps faster than yours with the same exact settings that you have for those games. The cpu that I have is just an older Ryzen 5 2600 with 16gb 3600mhz cl18 ram. I just turned ON the 4g decoding (resizable bar) in the bios.
So the gaming performance of the A380 is basically that of the 8-year-old Radeon 380X, but with new features like AV1 encoding... Good to know. I think I'll avoid putting it on my wish list. Looking forward to seeing what the next generation can offer though.
I picked up a 5700XT Gigabyte OC model maybe 6 months ago, $200 (cdn) Very happy with it so far. I don't work it very hard, but it is nice not hearing my old R9380 scream like it is about to lift-off. I would have liked something new, but there was no way I could pull the trigger on something more expensive with less or equal performance. Warranty isn't that important to me. 6600s are still going for $250 on sale to $350 if not. Crazy.
@@hiriotapa1983 yeah well those I believe are cards used by limited number of people, let's be honest it's not like most of PC users are going for 'high end' cards
I am thinking that these A380 cards will really shine in a couple of years when it is 3rd Gen Ryzen and 10th and 11th gen Optiplex systems are being sold dirt cheap, and these cards are available for $50-75. By then it is likely Intel will have decent older DX support, and it will likely be less important anyway.
The fine wine argument is kinda moot when you start from a completely broken launch. The biggest performance improvement for older games came from directly incorporating DXVK into intel's driver stack, so everything's translated up to a modern API regardless of what a game's coded for. It's a smart move, they can continue improving DX12 / Vulcan performance and stability to the benefit of pretty much everything. The "fine wine" argument may come into play for arc sometime in the future, but I think the starting point is a generally stable, feature complete driver (which they may very well have now), and measuring improvements from there.
The people buying the a380, like me, were doing so to use them as dedicated encoders/transcoders in custom media centers. For that alone, the a380 stomped all over everything else.
On the Nvidia side, you can also get used 1660s in the same price range as the A380, including some Supers and Tis. Those should stomp the A380, as well.
I'll point out something you didn't mention about the ARC: Take a look at memory util claims in the RTSS overlay. Particularly with CP2077 and BFV. There is a substantial drop in 'amount of memory used over what the card has' between older drivers and new ones, and that is likely where the minor improvements in frames and 1%s came from. It's also interesting seeing how much more VRAM the ARC card is using compared to the 1630 in general, even in games where the 1630 is running better, like GTA5. It would be interesting to see how the ARC actually performs if they ever get memory management handled in an efficient way.
I gifted a brand new 5700xt to a friend years ago. He was complaining the card kept crashing and wanted to return it to buy an nvidia. I made him update his motherboard bios (B450 Tomahawk) and all the problems disappeared. He is still using the card and is happy with it.
Thank you for switching to a frametime graph instead of the fps graph... Its a lot easier to tell how smooth/consistent the fps is with the frametime graph. Also it would've made more sense to compare to the RX 6400 or 6500 XT which are more similar price/performance wise. Maybe even the 1650 (tho its difficult to find new) just for some closure for the people who have the 1650.
Honestly, you really need to know the games you're playing when picking between those two. There are some games where the true rasterizing power of the A750 shines and it beats the 6600, but there are also plenty of games where the superior optimization of the 6600 causes it to come out on top.
@@tyre1337 Depends on where you are, I got my A750 for $149(sold out in 5 minutes), but it has recently been sold at $186 (2 week sale), but yes, undiscounted it's $246. The 6600 is $179 on discount abd has never been chaper, standard price is $198 here though.
Right Dawid! People don't understand how good the cards like the RX 6600 and 6650 XT (Other cards are available - these cards being amazing does not invalidate your choice of cheap overpowered GPU! 😀) are for the price! While people are busy with "Well at 4K with max settings and showcase RT enabled you need an RTX 234523460" - the FACT is that the VAST majority of people still only have 1080p monitors. The fact very few people (Aka most reviewers) do not actually recognize that an RX 6600 ACTUALLY slays at 1080p is borderline criminal negligence! 😀- The problem is that there IS a lower limit to this - and just like the GT 1630 - the A380 simply doesn't meet it. The real problem for these cards is the fact that you can get cards like the RX 6600 for 180$ now - and something like a used RTX 2060 - for about the same price as this card - meaning it might be "a lot more" in % - however when building a PC and looking at the full system price - it's not that much - and the performance is not even comparable. It's a fun toy - the same with the A750 and A770 - however I would NEVER recommend anyone who is not VERY MUCH into tinkering with stuff get one over the AMD and Nvidia options. The A750 and A770 are also AMAZING performance for the price..... when they work.... when they don't then good luck figuring out why! Build 8 identical systems with the A750. 3 ran flawlessly, 3 ran mostly flawlessly - 2 constantly had issues and crashes. changed up the hardware, now 3 ran poorly, changed it up again, now all of them ran "acceptable"... 2 weeks later the first one flat out died. 3 months later another one died.... No one - INCLUDING Intel - could explain it - nor excuse it. And before you ask - I marked down which cards did what to keep track. The first one that died was one of the 2 initial GPUs which had issues, the second one was one of the ones which ran flawlessly in all 3 "builds"... so no pattern there.
Should have tried DXVK on GTA V since you do SP test :) the boost it gets its insane I've seen 1440p high setting go 60fps+ in one of my videos. Gunnir looks nice but damn such overkill design for a card that can do 28W when undervolted. Should have no pcie connector.
I can’t wait for Intel to produce a highend card that’ll do 4K 60 and higher something to compete with 4090’s and 7900 xtx cards I think they will one f day maybe in the next green cards it’ll happen I may build a full Intel rig when that happens
Is there a low profile A380 with no auxiliary power requirement? If it draws only 75W, it might be a nice option for SFF cases which don't need the very high 3D performance of an RTX A2000 or RTX 4060LP.

A380 in my local stores cost ~160 USD, rx 6600 ~225 USD. A380 is quite a bargain on my local market, the best you can do at this price point is rx 6400 or gtx 1630. I know its worth adding a few for bucks for triple the performance, but for tight budget it looks like A380 is a king now
The rx6600 was the most bipolar card i ever had and was the only card i ever had crash, and itd do it about once a day. But when it worked, it worked pretty good. I do primarily VR and it didnt do great at VR, but anything under 500 bucks wont do great at VR. The intel cards (i think 720 or whatever it is) have very high VR potential as you can get insane vram for it.

Nah. If you're going to compare the A380 to an AMD card, you should have gone bottom of the barrel and used your RX 6400 (assuming you didn't dump it in a charity shop bin or something :).
"I encountered unfair treatment on my Sony PS5 console. I have a PS4 disc of COD13 (Infinite Warfare), and yesterday, while on the main menu of the game, I saw a remastered version of the original Modern Warfare in the bottom row (equivalent to additional content). I clicked on it and entered the PS5 store interface, which showed that I needed to purchase it. I didn't want to buy it, so when I tried to exit, I pressed the Circle O button (because it's the UI of the PS5 store interface). However, due to running the PS4 game, the O button directly became the confirm button (Sony's PS5 operation is X to confirm and O to cancel). It triggered my Alipay's payment without a password, and the purchase was successful. I immediately tried to get a refund when I returned to the game interface, and I never downloaded what I bought (the PS platform's refund policy is for digital content that has not been downloaded or used within 14 days of purchase). First, Sony's technical problem caused a bug in the PS5 store's purchase interface, where the confirm and cancel buttons were reversed, leading to this erroneous payment without a password. Second, I am eligible for a refund because I never downloaded it, but they claimed that I had streamed and played the purchased content, even though I hadn't used the streaming function for a long time. Moreover, the reasons for the refusal of refund from the customer service and email were different. Finally, when the customer service could not solve the problem, they remained silent, and I have never seen such a bad attitude from customer service. I wasted my phone bill, and the cost of calling Hong Kong from the mainland is expensive. The two phone calls cost more than the price of the game.

and i dont mean the game i mean like to see ho much fps he has or how hot the gpu is.
So the gaming performance of the A380 is basically that of the 8-year-old Radeon 380X, but with new features like AV1 encoding... Good to know. I think I'll avoid putting it on my wish list. Looking forward to seeing what the next generation can offer though.
Current real fine wine graphic cards: RX 5700, RX 5700 XT, RX 6700, RX 6700 XT.
I picked up a 5700XT Gigabyte OC model maybe 6 months ago, $200 (cdn) Very happy with it so far. I don't work it very hard, but it is nice not hearing my old R9380 scream like it is about to lift-off. I would have liked something new, but there was no way I could pull the trigger on something more expensive with less or equal performance. Warranty isn't that important to me. 6600s are still going for $250 on sale to $350 if not. Crazy.
@@--_DJ_-- if you will undervolt this 5700XT properly you can get FPS boost with less power usage :)
And RX 6800, RX 6800 XT as well??
@PolecanePC She is thirsty, maybe I will look into that. Thanks!
@@hiriotapa1983 yeah well those I believe are cards used by limited number of people, let's be honest it's not like most of PC users are going for 'high end' cards
I love dawid videos, that outra man 😂😂 Keep it up, keep smiling, and keep being you 😁
I am thinking that these A380 cards will really shine in a couple of years when it is 3rd Gen Ryzen and 10th and 11th gen Optiplex systems are being sold dirt cheap, and these cards are available for $50-75. By then it is likely Intel will have decent older DX support, and it will likely be less important anyway.
You rock man, I really enjoy ur videos, and ur view on products. Keep up the good work. More xeon beasts and intel arc info videos please.
I'm liking your Otacon phase Dawid.
The fine wine argument is kinda moot when you start from a completely broken launch. The biggest performance improvement for older games came from directly incorporating DXVK into intel's driver stack, so everything's translated up to a modern API regardless of what a game's coded for. It's a smart move, they can continue improving DX12 / Vulcan performance and stability to the benefit of pretty much everything. The "fine wine" argument may come into play for arc sometime in the future, but I think the starting point is a generally stable, feature complete driver (which they may very well have now), and measuring improvements from there.
DXVK front/mid end (it's not the whole DXVK) is used for DX9 games but not for DX10/11 games.
Not just the rx 6600 even the A750 comes at $199 in certain locations. People might actually be buying the A380 for Intel to not drop the price.
where is the a750 $199?
@@tyre1337 sorry, saw it it Newegg for $199 a couple weeks back but now it's $239.
The people buying the a380, like me, were doing so to use them as dedicated encoders/transcoders in custom media centers. For that alone, the a380 stomped all over everything else.
On the Nvidia side, you can also get used 1660s in the same price range as the A380, including some Supers and Tis. Those should stomp the A380, as well.
for a second i thought Dawid was going to try linux gaming with wine
but i must say, im still not disappointed
He needs a few more Linode Sponsors spots to do that.
I am just happy to see some competition
I'll point out something you didn't mention about the ARC: Take a look at memory util claims in the RTSS overlay. Particularly with CP2077 and BFV. There is a substantial drop in 'amount of memory used over what the card has' between older drivers and new ones, and that is likely where the minor improvements in frames and 1%s came from.
It's also interesting seeing how much more VRAM the ARC card is using compared to the 1630 in general, even in games where the 1630 is running better, like GTA5. It would be interesting to see how the ARC actually performs if they ever get memory management handled in an efficient way.
The "Save" button (to save to watch later) is hidden on Firefox, but it shows on Chrome. This is the only channel I sub/follow that has this issue.
Fire as always
I bought Arc 750 FE with quite risk . Now i must say its very good deal.
I gifted a brand new 5700xt to a friend years ago. He was complaining the card kept crashing and wanted to return it to buy an nvidia. I made him update his motherboard bios (B450 Tomahawk) and all the problems disappeared. He is still using the card and is happy with it.
Thank you for switching to a frametime graph instead of the fps graph... Its a lot easier to tell how smooth/consistent the fps is with the frametime graph. Also it would've made more sense to compare to the RX 6400 or 6500 XT which are more similar price/performance wise. Maybe even the 1650 (tho its difficult to find new) just for some closure for the people who have the 1650.
There is no words to describe how marvellous is your style))))
Your channel literally the weird kid on the block, i like the concept
"Google propaganda feed"
ACCURATE!
So, how about the RX6600 vs A750? Both are around $200.
Honestly, you really need to know the games you're playing when picking between those two. There are some games where the true rasterizing power of the A750 shines and it beats the 6600, but there are also plenty of games where the superior optimization of the 6600 causes it to come out on top.
a750 is nowhere to be found at that price, it was a 2 day sale
cheapest 6600 = $179
cheapest a750 = $239
@@tyre1337 Depends on where you are, I got my A750 for $149(sold out in 5 minutes), but it has recently been sold at $186 (2 week sale), but yes, undiscounted it's $246. The 6600 is $179 on discount abd has never been chaper, standard price is $198 here though.
@@rustler08 That's what I find interesting, what games runs well on one of them and what games prefer the other option.
Why was the ram usage so low on the gta V on the 1630? Or should I ask why was the ram usage so high on the ARC run for gta V?
The Airbus A380 joke landed quite nicely.
I still vibe with the OG tech stuff intro but one day you gotta remix it Dawid
Right Dawid! People don't understand how good the cards like the RX 6600 and 6650 XT (Other cards are available - these cards being amazing does not invalidate your choice of cheap overpowered GPU! 😀) are for the price! While people are busy with "Well at 4K with max settings and showcase RT enabled you need an RTX 234523460" - the FACT is that the VAST majority of people still only have 1080p monitors. The fact very few people (Aka most reviewers) do not actually recognize that an RX 6600 ACTUALLY slays at 1080p is borderline criminal negligence! 😀- The problem is that there IS a lower limit to this - and just like the GT 1630 - the A380 simply doesn't meet it.
The real problem for these cards is the fact that you can get cards like the RX 6600 for 180$ now - and something like a used RTX 2060 - for about the same price as this card - meaning it might be "a lot more" in % - however when building a PC and looking at the full system price - it's not that much - and the performance is not even comparable. It's a fun toy - the same with the A750 and A770 - however I would NEVER recommend anyone who is not VERY MUCH into tinkering with stuff get one over the AMD and Nvidia options. The A750 and A770 are also AMAZING performance for the price..... when they work.... when they don't then good luck figuring out why! Build 8 identical systems with the A750. 3 ran flawlessly, 3 ran mostly flawlessly - 2 constantly had issues and crashes. changed up the hardware, now 3 ran poorly, changed it up again, now all of them ran "acceptable"... 2 weeks later the first one flat out died. 3 months later another one died.... No one - INCLUDING Intel - could explain it - nor excuse it. And before you ask - I marked down which cards did what to keep track. The first one that died was one of the 2 initial GPUs which had issues, the second one was one of the ones which ran flawlessly in all 3 "builds"... so no pattern there.
Fine wine is like when you see an alpha version of a game priced full $60 now gets the full release update after 1 year
Should have tried DXVK on GTA V since you do SP test :) the boost it gets its insane I've seen 1440p high setting go 60fps+ in one of my videos. Gunnir looks nice but damn such overkill design for a card that can do 28W when undervolted. Should have no pcie connector.
I can’t wait for Intel to produce a highend card that’ll do 4K 60 and higher something to compete with 4090’s and 7900 xtx cards I think they will one f day maybe in the next green cards it’ll happen I may build a full Intel rig when that happens
I think you should add warframe to your benchmark repertoire. My MSI gtx 1060 3g OC is starting to have trouble running it on max settings.
arguably the a750 is closer to the 6600 in terms of price compared to the a380
Agreed. The 6600 is also almost double the TDP of the A380 too...
a750 = $239
6660 = $179
not very close if you ask me
@@tyre1337 I've seen it go for £199.99 when looking now, so yes, it is close if I ask you :)
Is there a low profile A380 with no auxiliary power requirement? If it draws only 75W, it might be a nice option for SFF cases which don't need the very high 3D performance of an RTX A2000 or RTX 4060LP.
Aisurix 5500xt is 8gb and $136 USD. have one in my system and it runs warzone on highest, if you’re fine with a constant 85C temp
with intels newest drivers my fps in rising storm 2 vietnam hue city went from 50 fps to 85 fps. this was from last week to now.
Im loving it.
Love my 2070 Super, i will not be buying a new nvidia GPU though.
Going with a 7900 xt for Christmas
Not that it matters, but the heatsink underneath the fan shroud of the A380 cooler the heatsink is extruded aluminum, and not machined.
Sir, You are the best tech TH-camr, and have been for some time. If I’m watching your content, my wife will stay up and watch, despite displaying the same appetite for tech vids as a dyed in the wool luddite. You see, you are as funny as any top tier comedian, we’re just blessed you specialise in geeky tech shit, hence why I was lucky enough to stumble across your content. I built my PC 3 years ago, yet you’re my fave TH-camr. Why is that? Because you make me and my (Absolute tech newb) wife Lol each and every video! Please keep doing what you do.
Dawids videos are fun to watch, the guy is hilarious.
Why is afterburner saying you are using 8gb+ of vram sometimes when the a380 only has 6?
Dawid Does Tech Stuff > Saturday morning cartoons
That 96-bit memory bus is a deal breaker for me
Someone get Dawid a gamepass subscription so he can do tests on different games
I’ve been waiting for Dawid to revisit the Intel Arc GPUs. Very nice to see that.
Darwin, you are absolutely mad! 🤣 That bombshell! 😂
What software are you using to show system information? Like the fps counter and such
Would anyone know what software is being used showing the FPS, temps, ect?
Hi Dawid. Have you tried the Sparkle Arc cards?
I’m not the only one thrilled Dawid compared against the “Sixteen-Thiddy” am I? I missed the “Thiddy”! 👏🏻👏🏻
A380 in my local stores cost ~160 USD, rx 6600 ~225 USD. A380 is quite a bargain on my local market, the best you can do at this price point is rx 6400 or gtx 1630. I know its worth adding a few for bucks for triple the performance, but for tight budget it looks like A380 is a king now
i feel like the new 780m igpu does better than the a380 or am i tweaking ?
Do you know where to get the Gunnir Photon 16GB A770?
Did I read that correctly... the drivers are 1.3 gigs??? I haven't done drivers in a bit, but that seems like a lot
The longer hair look is dope.
Competition in the budget gpu market... insanity.
The rx6600 was the most bipolar card i ever had and was the only card i ever had crash, and itd do it about once a day. But when it worked, it worked pretty good. I do primarily VR and it didnt do great at VR, but anything under 500 bucks wont do great at VR. The intel cards (i think 720 or whatever it is) have very high VR potential as you can get insane vram for it. The only problem, drivers dont support VR and havent for years, and intel is aware of the issue
great video david tho the rx 6600 competitor would be the arc a750 not the a380, right?
how about a comparison bw that
IDK why people keep overlooking the 6600, it's a damn good card for it's price range.
Nah. If you're going to compare the A380 to an AMD card, you should have gone bottom of the barrel and used your RX 6400 (assuming you didn't dump it in a charity shop bin or something :).
"I encountered unfair treatment on my Sony PS5 console. I have a PS4 disc of COD13 (Infinite Warfare), and yesterday, while on the main menu of the game, I saw a remastered version of the original Modern Warfare in the bottom row (equivalent to additional content). I clicked on it and entered the PS5 store interface, which showed that I needed to purchase it. I didn't want to buy it, so when I tried to exit, I pressed the Circle O button (because it's the UI of the PS5 store interface). However, due to running the PS4 game, the O button directly became the confirm button (Sony's PS5 operation is X to confirm and O to cancel). It triggered my Alipay's payment without a password, and the purchase was successful. I immediately tried to get a refund when I returned to the game interface, and I never downloaded what I bought (the PS platform's refund policy is for digital content that has not been downloaded or used within 14 days of purchase).
First, Sony's technical problem caused a bug in the PS5 store's purchase interface, where the confirm and cancel buttons were reversed, leading to this erroneous payment without a password. Second, I am eligible for a refund because I never downloaded it, but they claimed that I had streamed and played the purchased content, even though I hadn't used the streaming function for a long time. Moreover, the reasons for the refusal of refund from the customer service and email were different. Finally, when the customer service could not solve the problem, they remained silent, and I have never seen such a bad attitude from customer service. I wasted my phone bill, and the cost of calling Hong Kong from the mainland is expensive. The two phone calls cost more than the price of the game. Can anyone help me figure out how to protect my rights?"
That's a nice looking watch bro what is it ?
I've never heard of the GTX 16thiddy
24 FPS on The Last of Us is perfect for that true cinematic experience.
Well Intel do have a road map for further graphics cards with fantasy character class names, so they might take what they have learned and come up with some more impressive silicon.

Hey Dawid, I’ve been meaning to ask… Is your channel name a play on “Debbie Does Dallas”?
This shows just how great the RE engine is lol
Yeah, Capcom really have some competent wizards working on their engines given the track record from MT Framework to the current RE Engine.
Aeaeae 0:19 Imma stop you right there. It has to be wine in the first place. You cannot ship that runs CS:GO worse than HD 4000 in the first place and then launch the driver later. the screen itself was flashing and had a haze to it at least on HDMI for the first three months. had to resale the card and get a 3060ti
did the better intel ones also get updates?
Did you use resizeable bar thingy?
