Description:
Intel released a new video both discussing and showing off what the Intel Acr A750 is capable of, but no release date in sight.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Intels latest video showcased one of its Arc Alchemist graphics card, the Arc A750 specifically, in action.

The video, as reported by Digital Trends , shows the Intel Arc card running Death Stranding at impressive frame rates between 85 and 100 on the default setting.

The graphics card is running with a Core i9-12900K processor and an Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero motherboard, while using a dual monitor setup of a 4K 120Hz Acer model and Alienware QD-OLED display. Its clear that Intel was using the Acer monitor to test out the variable refresh rates (VRR) capabilities, which the A750 is fully compatible with.

The A750 is also able to support HDMI 2.1 and manufacturers will have the option of installing a protocol converter in order to turn a DisplayPort 1.4 into HDMI 2.1. Analysis: Wheres the release date?

The major problem with this demonstration isnt what was shown but what wasnt announced, namely, the release date.

Intel has so far released the Intel Arc Alchemist in China, with a limited release in India as well. But as for the global release date mums the word
so far. And considering that Team Blue has some stiff competition from Team Red, the fact that we still dont know when these cards will release is worrisome.

Theres also some speculation that the Arc cards may not be as fast as we
first thought , which if true would be another notch in the disaster belt. Though that speculation was surrounding the A380, its something that might apply to other models as well.

The only way we'll know is by getting out hands on these cards ourselves to test, so hopefully Intel will give us some firm info for a release date soon.
