I really wanted the Battlemage B580 from Intel, rather than either AMD or Nvidia for a graphics card, and for video editing, it needed to be ideally an X16 graphics card and with at least 10GB of memory, or more, but the card was elusive as it was bought out by scalpers and resold on eBay. In early January, I found a listing here on Amazon for the Sparkle branded A770, the previous gen Intel card, also known as Alchemist.It's I believe to be a true 4K card with 16GB of memory and has had several driver updates since introduction 2 years or so ago and some of its early teething issues have since then become abated.It went into a 15th gen based Core 7 Ultra build, which also included a fresh, new chipset and socket and my choice was potential future proofing for at least a couple of generations, though that's no guarantee.Anyway, I run at the moment, a year old 1080P 22" monitor from Onn (a Walmart brand) and a Dell 27" 4K monitor. The Onn monitor is connected to Display Port via DP to HDMI dongle at the card due to it having a display port, and is 1080P, the Dell can do Display Port, but via the USB C connector at the monitor and full size DP port on the card and there is only 1 HDMI port.Sadly, the dongle does not pass anything higher than 1080P, so the Onn got that, and the Dell runs full HDMI for 4K.After all updates, including Intel graphics card drivers, Gigabyte BIOS updates etc, the card runs great and I think the image is a bit sharper on both monitors. Previous card was an older GT1030 from Nvidia that goes with the previous small form factor Dell that this current PC I built replaces.Setting it up for 2 monitors took a few minutes but I was able to get it set up, and have the mouse move between them.Preliminary trial of Davinci Resolve 19 (most recent version) on a 1080P timeline not optimized yet showed mostly all smooth scrubbing of H.264 footage. Not bad at all.Really like this card and just FYI, like most cards of recent generations, 3 Display Ports and one HDMI port, while they technically can do upwards of 8K with the latest iterations of both the Display Port specs and HDMI specs, the card itself, depending on the model you have may not be capable of doing 4K without struggling for anything but playback of video, let alone many games and not produce higher frame rates.Likely not anything as powerful as a 4090 or 5090, but it is not a 2000 dollar card for the 5090, but instead, sells for under 350 US.While it is not the latest iteration of XeSS 2, it has many of the current Battlemage specs via software/driver updates for Battlemage as well. So far it's stable and works smoothly.Glad I went ahead with getting this card as the B580 has been hard to find.

People expectations for this card are huge due to it's specification, but a real life shows that a GPU with core speed of 2300 and 16 GB and on a 256 rail should work great. Nothing like this! Every bench showed, that it is slow and not worth over 300 quid. The benchmarks showed that it is much slower than fantastic for its price rx6600. Couldn't launch x-plane 12 due to lack of Vulcan. Should be placed in 100-150 price range. Bad.

I took the plunge buying this card after recently positive reviews, and I don’t regret the decision. The A770 is not just affordable with 16GB VRAM, but also feature rich.The build quality of this ROC SKU is good and comparable to something like a Powercolor Hellhound series. The cooling solution is sufficient to keep temps low. For context, the ambient temp in my room is about 27 degrees celcius, and under sustained 3D load in Horizon Zero Dawn, it’s about 61 degree celcius. There is no hotspot temp shown, so I can’t tell what is the hotspot temp. 2x 100mm fan solution is fairly quiet, and I can’t hear it over the CPU cooler fans on the DeepCool Assassin 3.Visually, there is a pulsing blue light on the Intel ARC wording at the top of the plastic fan shroud. If you don’t like it, I believe it can be disabled. The blue PCB is hidden from view, but the blue 2x 8pin power looks nice.In terms of stability, I have not experience any crashes after trying out for about 3 weeks now. The Intel GPU UI did freeze once after I installed Intel GPU driver, but it did not impact the card’s functionality. This freezing also only happened once.Overall, very happy with the purchase. Performance is not stellar by today’s standards, but the games I play are not demanding. I am also glad those teething issues at launch seem to be resolved. Between the RX 7600 XT, RTX 4060 and this A770, I think the A770 offers the best of both worlds at around the same price range.

With the current drivers as of 10/11/2024, most games run very well for me on 1080p with the exception of some older games FFXIV dips to below 60fps in some areas. Managed to clock it at 2600MHz using ARC Control(your milage may vary).Works quite well in streaming and video rendering.Using this card paired with a 5700X 32GB of RAM.Very satisfied with the performance

First of all, the seller's legit, dont worry bout that, now to the gpu, 100% of games at recommended settings and ure prbly gonna max out most games settings in 1080p, in 1440p its more so entry-level, its comparable to a 6700xt, XeSS is better than FSR imo +16GB of vram incase u use it for render and stuff. Drivers have matured over the time so don't worry about that. Overall, great card, get it if it's the best valued card you can get
