ASRock Intel Arc A770 Challenger 16GB OC (A770 CL 16GO)

ASRock Intel Arc A770 Challenger 16GB OC is a powerful graphics card based on the Intel Xe HPG architecture, which Intel introduced in 2022. The model is the most powerful video card in the entire Intel Arc line: in tests it produces results comparable to those of the GeForce RTX 3060 and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, that is, we are talking about a suitable option for games at 1440p resolution with high graphics settings.

The modification from ASRock is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 video memory with a frequency of 17500 MHz and a 256-bit memory bus. The graphics chip is equipped with 4096 stream processors, clock frequency - 2150 MHz. Like its Arc series brethren, the video card has several interesting features. It supports Intel's proprietary XeSS AI upscaler, which uses machine learning to enhance images, enabling resolution scaling and improved gaming performance without compromising rendering quality.

Intel is also working on an extension of XeSS technology called ExtraSS, which will include an integrated frame generation system in the spirit of NVIDIA Frame Gen and AMD FMF. In addition, the GPU supports hardware video encoding and decoding in AV1 format. Add support for VP9, HEVC and H.264 to this list, and you have a very attractive mid-range graphics card for editing and streaming. The video card has dimensions of 271x132x48 mm and occupies 2.5 PCIe slots. The cooling system includes dual 100mm fans, a copper base for improved heat dissipation, and a metal backplate for added cooling and prevents PCB bending.
