Intel Arc A770 Repair

The Intel Arc A770 was released as an 8 GB and 16 GB variant on October 14, 2022, as a mid-range discrete graphics card along with its little sibling the Intel Arc A750. This marks the Arc A770 and A750 as Intel's fifth and sixth discrete GPU to be released under Intel's Arc brand, following the two workstation dGPUs the Arc Pro A40 and A50, as well as the two consumer grade dGPUs, the Arc A380 and Arc A310.

The Intel Arc A770 is built on a 6 nm processor featuring multiple media hardware encoders such a H.265, AV1 and VP9, hardware ray tracing with 32 RTUs, and DirectX 12 Ultimate support. The 406 mm² die comes with 512 tensor cores for machine learning, and 8 or 16 GB of video ram, depending on model.

The Intel Arc A-series, known as codename Alchemist, previously known as codename DG2 is the first generation of Intel Arc GPUs, which comes as mobile (laptop), desktop and workstation form factors. The Alchemist series uses Intel Xe-HPG architecture and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenCL 3.0 and multiple hardware encoders.

The Alchemist series was first announced in a press release in August 2021, with an official announcement in March 2022, with the A-series release on March 30th, 2022. The Intel Arc A770 got released later the same year, on October 14th, 2022.

The Intel Arc A770 features multiple graphic card partners and vendors with different specifications and appearances.
