Although the full review embargo hasn’t lifted, we are able to show off the cards and give you a sneak peek of what we have in hand. Without further delay, here’s a quick hand’s on with Intel’s
Arc A750 and A770 Limited Edition GPUs...
The new Arc A750 and A770 Limited Edition cards will be available on October 12th, with MSRPs started at $289 for the A750. An 8GB A770 will arrive on the same day for $329 and the top-end
A770 Limited Edition seen here will be $349.

higher game clock – 2100MHz vs. 2050Mhz. Memory bandwidth is higher for the A770 LE as well (560GB/s), with the base 8GB A770 with and A750 coming in at 512GB/s. Both Arc 7 tier cards share the same 225W total board power (TBP) rating and carry respectable 3-year warranties.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
