Intel lowers the price of its A750 graphics and improves its performance by 43% through drivers

Late last year Intel finally released its first desktop graphics card for gaming, a product highly anticipated by many players who wanted a new rival to join NVIDIA and AMD, especially in entry and middle ranges which the first Intel GPUs have targeted.

The beginning of the life of these graphics was somewhat problematic not because of the “brute force” of the hardware of these Intel Arc, but by problems derived from the software and its drivers that have hampered its performance during its first months of life, something that perhaps could be expected in an Intel debut product in the sector.

In fact, Intel itself already recognized at the time a phenomenon that might seem strange to some, and that is that their GPUs performed better with the latest games that use the DirectX12 or Vulkan APIs and worse with older video games under DirectX 9 or 10 APIssomething that they have been solving little by little, especially thanks to their latest drivers of which there were already rumors last week.

Some drivers that significantly improve the performance of Intel Arc graphics

A few hours ago, Intel announced the release of some new drivers that will improve performance of its graphs to play particularly that of the Intel Arc A750a GPU designed to compete in the mid-range with the NVIDIA RTX 3060 and which now sees its performance improve significantly.

According to Intel itself, in video games with the API DirectX9 the performance jump is up to 43% on average in different titles, making these texts at 1080p and in Ultra. In the worst case we find a growth of 10% in titles such as Guild Wars 2 and in the best cases an increase of up to 77% in video games such as CS:GOall thanks to the new drivers in which they have solved the problems and bottlenecks with this API.

But, beyond this jump in performance in older games, Intel also points out that they have also generally improved the performance of the A750 in more modern titles and although this time they do not give specific data, they do point to small increases in titles like Dying Light 2 or Red Dead Redemption 2 in addition to a more stable FPS rate.

More performance and lower price

To all this we must add that They have also decided to lower the price of the Inter Arc A750 which goes from costing $279 in its Limited Edition created by Intel to having a price of $249Yes, it is not a very big discount but it is certainly a move that some players will surely appreciate in these times of inflation. Indeed, in USA this discount will also be applied Going from costing 379.99 euros to about 330.
