The Arc A750, Intel’s cheapest Arc 7 graphics card, now features improved ray tracing performance courtesy of a new Game On driver (31.0.101.4311) that adds support for Dead Island 2, Total War: Warhammer III – Mirror of Madness, and other new releases, according to new benchmarks that Intel has published. DIRT 5, Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition, and Deathloop are some of the games that have received a ray tracing FPS boost versus the older 4257 driver, and while some might consider the differences to be negligible, another set of benchmarks shows off how the new driver delivers up to 63% better performance in EA and Motive’s Dead Space remake. Intel’s Arc A750 is also better than NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 3060 in terms of performance per dollar, with some gains being as high as 72%, according to additional benchmarks shared by the company.

From an Intel Arc article:
Intel Arc GPUs fear no chaos and are mighty enough to handle the battles of epic proportions in Mirror of Madness. The Intel Arc A750 is 10% faster than the RTX 3060 in Total War: Warhammer III’s Vortex benchmark, making for 72% more performance per dollar.
Even more games out this week are launch-ready with the latest Intel Arc graphics driver. Battle across the void in Boundary, chillax in the zombie-infested paradise of Dead Island 2, and fend off Piglins in Minecraft Legends. With launch day support for all three games, the Intel Arc A750 beats the Nvidia RTX 3060 in price-to-performance.
Are you afraid of the Arc… er, dark? The 2023 remake of Dead Space* is up to 63% faster than our previous drivers with fixes today for the game’s most demanding scenes. Now hitting 78 FPS on 1080p Ultra, the Intel Arc A750 just edges out the Nvidia RTX 3060 in pure performance, still at a much lower cost: $249.
The Intel Arc A750 is already a capable ray tracing machine but that didn’t stop us from making the most realistic lighting run even faster in popular games. DIRT 5, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, F1 22, and DEATHLOOP all get a small performance bump with ray tracing on compared to the last driver version.
