Intel's Arc A770 has been through many delays, but it will not be long before gamers can get their hands on the desktop GPUs. The Arc A770 is a mid-range Intel graphics card that will reportedly compete against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060.Many of the details of the Arc A770 GPU have been revealed, but the information about its specific hardware and benchmarks is yet to be known. Intel claims gamers will be able to use this GPU for 1440p gaming with "peak" ray-tracing performance. This is always great to hear as competition will increase with the release of the Arc lineup, forcing competitive prices and better hardware. All the details of the new GPU are rounded-up in this article.Intel ARC A770 will support DLSS, XeSS, and Ray TracingOverviewDuring Day 1 of the 2022 Intel Innovation event, currently being held in San Jose, California, some details of the upcoming Intel GPU were announced. The two-day event is set to end on September 28, but no further details of their GPU lineup are expected.Intel confirmed that the A770 will feature Xe Super Sampling (XeSS), which is an answer to Nvidia's DLSS and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution technologies. Like its rivals, the XeSS technology uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) as an upscaled resolution, which enables more performance and higher frame rates with the added benefit of high image fidelity.Intel Graphics@IntelGraphics#IntelArc A770 GPUs are entering the market starting October 12, packed with modern features and technologies to deliver great gaming and ray tracing performance.

Moreover, it is not limited to the dedicated GPU lineup, it is compatible with Intel's integrated GPUs as well. By the end of 2022, the technology should be available in over 20 games.Ray tracing will also be supported by the Arc A770 with up to 65% stronger RT performance compared to rivals, although Intel did not specify which rival specifically.SpecificationsIntel confirmed some of the base specifications of the A770 GPU. The specifications of the 16GB model are:Xe Cores: 32Ray Tracing Units: 32Render Slices: 8Intel Xe Matrix Extensions: 512Xe Vector Engines: 512Graphics Clock: 2100 MHzMemory Size: 16GB GDDR6Memory Interface: 256 bitMemory Bandwidth: 560 GB/sMemory Speed: 17.5 GbpsTDP: 225WThe A770 GPU will have the Xe HPG microarchitecture, with TSMC N6 lithography type. It will be available with 4.0x16 PCI Express configurations with support for four displays with a maximum resolution of 7680 x 4320@60Hz on DisplayPort. The only difference between the 16GB and the 8GB model is the memory size with a probable difference in TDP.Release date and priceTom Warren@tomwarrenIntel has just announced that its top Arc A770 GPU is going on sale on October 12th for $329.
