Retailers in the United States have offered significant discounts on Intel’s Arc Alchemist graphics cards. The Arc A770 and Arc A380, which are already among the best graphics cards, are becoming even more affordable, with prices dropping by up to 18%.
The flagship Arc A770 was released in 16GB and 8GB variants for $349 and $329, respectively. The price of Intel’s Arc A770 Limited Edition remains unchanged at $349 for the 16GB model.
The 8GB version, such as the ASRock Phantom Gaming Arc A770, is currently available for $269, which is 18% less than the official MSRP. With the new pricing, the Arc A770 8GB is effectively priced in the same range as AMD’s Radeon RX 6650 XT and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3050.
The Arc A770 8GB isn’t a compelling option when compared to the Radeon RX 6650 XT, which is faster and less expensive.
The Arc A770 8GB, on the other hand, provides more performance and costs significantly less than a GeForce RTX 3060, which starts at $349. Intel has already reduced the Arc A750’s price from $289 to $249.
The ASRock Challenger Arc A750 is now $239, putting it on par with the Radeon RX 6600. The Arc A750 outperforms the Radeon RX 6600 slightly. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti from Nvidia is less expensive, but it lags far behind the Arc A750 in terms of performance.
For those looking for something even more affordable, the Arc A380 debuted in the Chinese market before making its way to the United States for $139. The ASRock Challenger Arc A380 is now available for $119, which is 14% less than the MSRP.
The Arc A380 is an important SKU for Intel to capture customers in the entry-level segment at the current price. The GeForce GTX 1630 is available for $124, but it falls far short of the performance of the Arc A380. The GeForce GTX 1650 outperforms the Arc A380, but the cheapest GeForce GTX 1650 costs $169.
