Meh, I personally think a lot of the issues could be forgiven if they had consistent performance across Raster titles. Nvidia has proved that even with a discount from AMD, most people would choose their GPUs because of the feature set advantage. People care about Ray Tracing, Ai and etc and with AMD being so far behind even against Arc now in those categories, I think if the A770 even at it's $350 price point or A750 at $289 would have gained a lot of market share if it had consistent 3060 + 15% performance in Raster. Cause at that point, you are looking at a card that's faster than a 3060 in Raster with Ray Tracing that can beat a 3060 Ti and almost reaches 3070 with Ai upscaling to boot and AV1 encoding/decoding along with 16GB of Vram. Sure AMD is cheaper and more power efficient but you are getting more features with Arc that will age better.
The problem though is that it's not consistent. It can perform faster than a 3060 in one game and slower than a GTX 780 in another. It has driver issues up the wazoo and even in DX12 titles, it can stutter. So recommending a card like this is nearly impossible because the only people that should buy it are those that are willing to give Intel a charity. And it is quite the shame because we all know Lovelace and RDNA 3 about to show us the new meaning of being priced out. Hopefully they can sort it out by the time Battlemage comes out cause at the very least, Intel has shown us they have potential. They just need to fix their shit.
