This AsRock Intel Arc A770 Phantom Gaming 8GB model is down to a lowly £202 from E
The release of Intel's Arc A770 last year came as a bit of a pleasant surprise, as it gave a genuinely solid alternative to Nvidia's RTX 3060 and AMD's RX 6600 XT in the mid-range £300ish market. It's a card we don't see discounts on too often, but this AsRock 8GB model is now available for £202 using codeat Ebuyer's Ebay outlet.
The A770 16GB proved to be a fantastic performer for 1080p gaming, with our original review noting performance between the RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti, meaning Intel's budget oriented GPU is certainly in good company. What's more, it also pulled out a significant lead in RT titles over AMD's own affordable choice, the RX 6600 XT.
The A770 isn't just a solid performer for gaming, but also for content creation, too. This is through its support for AVI encoding, which is only found on AMD and Nvidia's latest generation graphics cards. The advantage of the AVI codec is that it offers much higher quality outputs at the same bitrate as others, which is a surefire advantage for video production and consumption. You also get DisplayPort 2.0, something not even included on Nvidia's RTX 4090.
Before I go, it's important to note there is a bit of a major caveat with the Arc A770. If you have a PC that doesn't support Resizable BAR, then you'll be hit with a pretty significant performance penalty, meaning that the A770 is a good buy only for more modern systems. You may wish to look for Nvidia and AMD's alternatives if you're slotting this card into older systems and upgrading their graphics.
