Just having alternative options anywhere near the performance of even several year old nvidia cards is worth it for the competition IMO.
Still pretty impressive. Intel has also been struggling to get something that is both fast and cheap enough to be competitive. It’s a very hard market to get into, especially with Nvidia dominating. It’s only because Nvidia has been raising prices a lot over the past years, that there’s room for competition at the lower end.
Incredibly underwhelming results, it’s readily beaten by a wide margin even by Intel’s GPU. For its price point, it’s by far the worst contender. Let’s see how much can be fixed with drivers and the company learning how to better make these kinds of chips.
*The results are from 潮玩客’s Bilibili video. The first value corresponds to the average frames per second (FPS), whereas the second value represents the 1% Low FPS, a metric for measuring the slowest 1% of frames observed during the benchmark.
Not bad for new hardware IP.
Thank you for sharing this table, since you mention drivers, do you remember if Intel’s GPU was also this bad at launch before improvements to the drivers or is this even worse?
I didn’t follow it closely, but Gamer Nexus did a video to show some of many problems it had at launch, like the control panel thingy-app not even working, a clean uninstall not actually cleaning everything and it becoming literally impossible to get the driver working - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjYSeT-T5uk - most of the problems seem to be about stuff not working, rather than low FPS
When it actually worked, Intel Arc A750 and A770, which I suppose would be the equivalent of this LX G7100, were roughly between Nvidia RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti in performance, with a no doubt driver related problem with Counter Strike Global Offensive - https://www.techspot.com/review/2542-intel-arc-a770-a750/
There’s this report from 2024, using a Intel Arc A770 16GB. Out of 250 games tested, 218 worked flawlessly, 3 failed to even start and 2 wouldn’t actually load into the game. https://www.techspot.com/review/2865-intel-arc-gpu-experience/
Thank you for your sharing all of this! Have a nice week!
