With Intel drivers focused on delivering great performance in modern games, older games using DirectX 11 will suffer, although Intel is working to improve this over time. Essentially, the more modern APIs are best suited for the Alchemist GPU Architecture. Intel’s Alchemist GPU Architecture performs better in games that use either the DX12 or Vulkan APIs. While this all sounds great, it is worth noting that there are limits to the Arc’s performance at this time. The card also manages to feature a healthy level of I/O, with one HDMI 2.1 port and three DVI 2.0 ports, ready for a range of displays. I barely noticed it running, and even with that fact, the card ran very cool, something not seen with many of the beefier GPU offerings. I also love how quiet the GPU is, even under load. The dual cooler design is simple and looks good in a system without being overwhelming.

It manages to be much smaller than many of the massive RTX 40-series or even the slightly smaller AMD RX 7000-series cards. In terms of looks, the Intel Arc A750 is a modest but good-looking card.
