Arc A770

Arc A770 Specifications

The Arc A770 is based on the Xe HPG architecture and manufactured using the 6 nm process node. It was launched approximately 2 years, 7 months ago, originally priced at $329. It features 4096 cores, including 80 compute units (SMs), 256 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 128 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 32 dedicated RT cores and 512 Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 2100 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2400 MHz. The Arc A770 comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus. Memory runs at 2000 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s.

This GPU has a moderate thermal design power (TDP) of 225 W. A PC case with good airflow and a quality power supply are required for stable operation. Due to the moderate TDP, this GPU is suitable for small form factor builds with somewhat limited airflow.

Arc A770 Performance Review

Arc A770 is an entry-level graphics card with a relative gaming performance score of 28.31%. It performs well at 1080p and can handle 1440p with optimized settings or features like DLSS and FSR, though it's not suitable for 4K. Intended for for casual gamers or users who play occasionally on general-purpose PCs.

The Arc A770 features an ample 16 GB of VRAM — more than sufficient for a GPU in this performance class. VRAM bottlenecks are highly unlikely, allowing users to enable high or ultra texture settings in modern games without issue. However, the primary limitation is the GPU’s core processing power, which may restrict performance in graphically intensive scenarios. Despite that, the high VRAM capacity makes it valuable for AI tasks, image generation, and creative workloads such as 4K video editing or working with large assets. It’s a versatile choice for users who prioritize memory capacity over raw gaming performance.

In terms of gaming value, Arc A770 offers excellent performance per dollar, achieving 75.0% efficiency relative to the best in this category. It is an outstanding choice for users seeking a cost-effective yet powerful solution, with ample VRAM ensuring strong future-proofing.
