Intel's Arc graphics cards have quietly become excellent (www.digitaltrends.com)

"Intel’s Arc A770 and A750 were decent at launch, but over the past few months, they’ve started to look like some of the best graphics cards you can buy if you’re on a budget. Disappointing generational improvements from AMD and Nvidia, combined with high prices, have made it hard to find a decent GPU around $200 to $300 — and Intel’s GPUs have silently filled that gap.

They don’t deliver flagship performance, and in some cases, they’re just straight-up worse than the competition at the same price. But Intel has clearly been improving the Arc A770 and A750, and although small driver improvements don’t always make a splash, they’re starting to add up."

I really want an energy efficient variant next time around. I currently have a 1050Ti and when i upgrade i sort of want something that's relatively better but with less wattage of possible.

This article has a graph of GPU total power (Watts) https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

I would be interesting to see a ratio of Frames/Watts for power efficiency.

Thanks for that, that's good info. It's good to know the arc gpus are trending towards the bottom half of the graph. It would be very cool to see a frames/watts graph like.
