Yeah, but this isn't anything new really. Same as A380 it falls between AMD and Nvidia in RT. Certainly not above Nv though.RT is bascially 3060 level according to Computerbase.
Arc A770 & A750 im Test: Das können Intels Gaming-Grafikkarten
Das Warten hat ein Ende: ComputerBase präsentiert Benchmarks und Messergebnisse von Intel Arc A770 & A750 im Vergleich mit GeForce & Radeon.www.computerbase.de
Yeah that's unfortunate. Have there been other recent cards like this? It definitely reminds of circa 2006-2008 gpus though.
Note that many reviewers don't conduct testing in everything for one video and in a short time. Gamers Nexus didn't review anything RT or XeSS related, and they're considered one of the best reviewers out there. It takes a lot of time to test the products, especially given the amount of issues had with this GPU and a lot of these YT outfits want to have separate content pieces focusing on things like RT, for obvious reasons.
Which are?
I agree. I enable RT in every there is (except for CP2077 as 60 fps is not possible there and at 30 FPS I get VRAM issues) and I'm running a super weak laptop 2060. Personally, I don't get why anyone would want to play without RT. If I can get over 60 fps on nearly every game there is with the help of DLSS+ my tweaked settings then desktop cards like a 3070 could easily get over 100 fps at the same settings or a little below with higher DLSS quality. In games with good implementation, RT looks a lot better than maxed out, native and ultra.
They probably figure these GPUs are too weak to handle RT for it to truly matter. At 1440p, most games drop to the low 40's, and Cyberpunk is in the 20s. I personally wouldn't bother with RT on anything less than an RTX 3070/2080 Ti but it's fair to ask for RT benchmarks nonetheless. It could also come in a separate benchmark. HU has been hard at work the past few weeks with a lot of content so they might not be able to cover everything in one video.
Well, in many heavy RT titles, the A770 tends to be ahead of the 3060 though, by a 20%+ margin in several cases, games like Metro, Control, Dying Light 2 .. some games though still has the 3060 slightly ahead, like Guardians of The Galaxy, and Cyberpunk. In general the lead of the A770 over the 3060 in heavy ray tracing is solid, 3060Ti remains out of reach though.

20 is the theoretical max throughput at 2,4 GHz. 13 sounds like the ALUs running at 1,6. Or driver issues.
Which is wrong, as I've said and demonstrated one post above you. Even a laptop 2060 can handle RT very well if tweaked correctly.
Aha! Saw those low numbers on a AIDA64 benchmark. Maybe this benchmark does not trigger boost.
You have to use DLSS performance which looks quite terrible compared to native res or even balanced/quality. I agree that they should have tested it because ultimately, it's up to the consumer to decide whether or not RT is worth the performance/resolution hit, not the reviewer.

The benefit of having RT far outweights any visual loss in fidelity from using DLSS Performance as you can see in my imgsli comparison. And given my laptop 2060 is much weaker than a Desktop 2060, you can use higher quality DLSS settings on the desktop.
I don't agree with that. DLSS performance looks a lot worse than native and RT doesn't offset that. The image comparison is also flawed. DLSS really gets tested in motion and the issues present in Quality mode are further exacerbated by lower res modes.
It really doesn't look close to native and there are myriads of tests out there disproving this claim. A sharpening filter doesn't make the problems such as ghosting and other artifacts go away.
Don't agree with that. A softer image with visual artifacts is omnipresent, RT isn't and in many cases, you barely notice it's even there. You never fail to notice the blur or breaking of the image in motion. It varies on a game-to-game basis but I never use anything less than RT Quality on a 3440x1440 monitor. The lower your native res, the worse it gets.
The difference between DLSS presets is fairly minor. If you're distracted by upscaling artifacts at DLSS Performance you will most likely see the same artifacts in Balanced and Quality. The only tier which is always noticeably worse is Ultra Performance.
