At $339.99, the Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 is once again the most affordable current-gen (PCIe 4.0) GPU featuring 16 GB of memory. Intel Arc graphics cards have been receiving positive press recently following a number of driver updates that continually improve performance for the line but also because more games have been receiving support for Intel XeSS which enables even more performance gains.
The Arc series is aimed at gamers looking for the best value for gaming at 1080p or 1440p resolutions and the Arc A770 is the flagship of the current lineup. The Acer Predator BiFrost Arc A770 has been on sale before for various prices but the current sale puts it at $10 less than Intel’s model and is overclocked with a custom cooling solution.
