The important thing 1080p efficiency chart shared by Intel reveals the Arc A770 beating the RTX 3060 by as a lot as 56% (Fortnite). It options 17 fashionable trendy video games with actual time ray tracing turned on. Different vital massive identify gaming wins had been in titles reminiscent of Watch_Dogs: Legion, Management, Hitman 3, Metro Exodus, Dying Mild 2, Resident Evil Village, and F1 2021. Out of 17 titles examined, the Nvidia contender solely beat the A770 in 4, and solely by vital margins in Guardians of the Galaxy and Battlefield V.
HotHardware.com readers can be nicely versed in how ray tracing works on PCs, however the video shared some attention-grabbing technical perception into Intel’s implementation. Arc GPUs have specialised Ray Tracing Models (RTUs) with two Ray Traversal Pipelines able to dealing with 12 field intersections and a triangle intersection per cycle. Furthermore, it’s claimed to offer Asynchronous Ray Tracing due to Intel’s Thread Sorting Unit. The TSU helps guarantee most utilization of the Xe cores. AMD and Nvidia don’t publish comparable information, so we will’t make a desk exhibiting the variations utilizing the aforementioned metrics.
One different factor to think about with Intel Arc’s ray tracing efficiency is that the A770 is Intel’s high present gen discrete GPU with 32 Ray Tracing Models (RTUs). The one Intel Arc GPU extensively accessible immediately is the A380 with simply eight RTUs.
