Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060: Which is better for gaming? 

The Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060 battle intensified after Intel released the new driver update 5379 beta. The driver greatly improved the A750's performance, putting it on par with the RTX 4060. However, there's a massive price difference between the two.

The RTX 4060 usually retails for $299.99, and the price may sometimes dip to $289.99. However, the Arc A750 often costs $199.99, and the Intel Limited Edition model is available for $208.17. So, the Arc A750 is $90 to $100 cheaper. Also, the RTX 4060 has frame generation technology that almost doubles the FPS. Intel's version of frame generation called ExtraSS is in the works, but it's yet to be seen.

So, if you're serious about 1080P gaming, give them both some thought before deciding. Let's compare them and find out everything they provide.

Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060: They're both excellent 1080P cards

A February 2024 Steam Hardware survey showed that 58.82% of gamers play on 1080P monitors, for which the Intel Arc A750 and RTX 4060 are ideal.

Let's take a deep dive into the underlying silicon of Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060.

Specs comparison

Nvidia 4060's Ada Lovelace architecture (Image via Nvidia)

The Nvidia RTX 4060, based on Nvidia's latest Ada Lovelace architecture, brought some monumental improvements to efficiency and power draw. The RTX 4060 draws a maximum of 115W of power, a 32.3% reduction compared to its previous generation RTX 3060's power draw of 170W. This shows how efficient the RTX 4060 is.

On the other hand, the Intel ARC A750 is a different class of GPU. It's based on Intel Alchemy architecture. The drivers were a mess during the launch, but they have improved by leaps and bounds since then and continue to get better. So, the performance you see now can be vastly improved with future drivers.

Since there are too many differences between the two GPUs, showing direct comparisons won't be apples to apples. Here's a quick specs of Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060:

	Intel ARC A750	RTX 4060
Shading units	3584	3072
RT cores	28	24
Base clock	2050 MHz	1830
Boost clock	2400 MHz	2460
VRAM size	8 GB	8 GB
VRAM bus width	256-bit GDDR6	128-bit GDDR6
Manufacturing process node	TSMC 6nm	TSMC 5nm
Power draw	225W	115W
Price	199.99 (Newegg)	289.99 (Newegg)

The specs battle of Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060 brings out two major differences: power draw and VRAM bus width. The power drawn by the RTX 4060 is almost half of that of the ARC A750. However, the latter has double the VRAM bus width. So, VRAM-sensitive games may provide better FPS; Red Dead Redemption 2 can attest to that.

Let's look at the gaming performance of Intel Arc A750 vs RTX 4060 in detail.

Performance comparison

The performance difference between the two GPUs can be huge or sometimes similar, depending on the games. A YouTuber @HENARAS_Ali006 has tested a mix of titles on both cards. Here are the performance differences between the two GPUs in eight games at 1080P:

	Intel ARC A750	RTX 4060
A Plague Tale: Requiem	48 FPS	51 FPS (6.25%)
Assassin's Creed Valhalla	62 FPS	87 FPS (40.3%)
CyberPunk 2077	77 FPS	83 FPS (7.79%)
Far Cry 6	98 FPS	119 FPS (21.4%)
God of War	59 FPS	71 FPS (20.3%)
Hitman 3	105 FPS	110 FPS (4.7%)
Horizon Zero Dawn	93 FPS	109 FPS (17.2%)
Red Dead Redemption 2	52 FPS	51 FPS (-1.9%)

On average, the RTX 4060 is 14.5% faster but costs 45% more when compared to its ARC counterpart. However, the Intel ARC A750 provides better value for money, but its driver is also not fully mature yet. So, it may provide even better performance in the future and close the gap further. Also, since the ARC's driver is not fully mature yet, some games may experience issues and instability.

Verdict

The RTX 4060 is the better option for gaming and wins this battle against the Intel Arc A750. Its frame generation technology can double the performance, making it the obvious choice.
