A clumsy start doesn’t deter Intel, Intel now claims its Arc GPUs will be able to match or exceed the performance of Nvidia GeForce RTX cards. Team Blue continues to build buzz for its Intel Arc A-series graphics cards, even though we haven’t seen more than one model yet, let alone widely available.
These bold claims about Intel Arc GPUs come from Intel’s Ryan Shraut and Tom Petersen, who in an interview with PC Gamer state that the graphics cards are “definitely competitive or better than Nvidia with ray tracing hardware.”
However, that doesn’t mean we should expect the Blue Team’s offerings to match the performance of the best RTX 3000-series graphics card. ) from Arc, specifying that in “compared to [RTX] 3060 compared to the A750 or the A770, we have to do very, very well.
If these claims are true, it would be an impressive feat for Intel’s Arc Graphics, as it would mean that the company has surpassed AMD and Nvidia in building its first-generation ray tracing architectures.
Intel’s victory might be short-lived as AMD’s RDNA 3 and Nvidia RTX 4000 graphics cards are expected to hit the gaming PC market soon, but that remains to be seen.
