If you’re shopping around for a fresh Intel Arc GPU, or have just stumbled here by chance, be seated, for you’re in the right place. Read on to discover why GPUs are important for gaming, as well as the latest ARC GPU gossip, before meeting the Predator BiFrost GPUs mentioned above.

Why are GPUs important for gaming?

If you’re a grizzled GPU guru, feel free to skip down the page and jump straight into the BiFrost experience. For the rest of us, let’s clear up any confusion around GPUs, CPUs and the importance of a dedicated GPU in gaming today.

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are specialized processors designed to accelerate image and graphics rendering, massively enhancing visual performance in games, rendering software, and video editing programs. Your PC, phone and tablet all have GPUs, but there are a few differences to be aware of.

GPUs are either integrated or dedicated:

• Integrated GPUs are built into the CPU (central processing unit) of most PCs. These GPUs share the CPU’s system memory (RAM) for graphics task processing. Integrated GPUs are sufficient for streaming and casual gaming, but can’t be replaced or upgraded.
• Dedicated GPUs are standalone graphics cards that have their own memory. Designed to deal with graphics-intensive tasks (AAA games), GPUs can be switched out and upgraded, and don’t share resources with the CPU. For better performance and gaming experiences, dedicated GPUs are the way forward.

To appreciate the role of the GPU, let’s consider, on a basic level, how a game actually works. What you see on the screen as you play is actually the result of billions and even trillions of complex calculations per second. Dedicated GPUs are crafted to handle these calculations with ease, delivering beyond realistic images, smooth gameplay, higher frame rates, and lightning fast refresh rates.

In addition to gaming, a dedicated GPU improves overall PC performance as well: by removing graphical processing duties from the CPU, it can busy itself with other tasks while you game to your heart’s content. GPU technology is rapidly evolving, in step with constantly improving game graphics. Fresh features such as ray tracing, which emulates real light as well as AI processing deliver new realms of realism and gaming performance.

Predator BiFrost: feel the steel

Now, on to the Predator BiFrost! The BiFrost series are made to game and create, with six Intel and AMD variants currently available. Today we’re focusing on the two Intel Arc models. Both feature brand new Xe-core upscaling tech with built-in Intel XMX AI capabilities. This advanced 3D acceleration hardware, Xe HPG microarchitecture is optimized for high-performance gaming. Innovative, state-of-the-art cooling technology ensures rapid and efficient heat dissipation, making the Predator BiFrost Intel Arc a smart choice for your PC gaming adventures.

Predator BiFrost Intel Arc A750 OC Graphics Card

This is a graphics card ready to put you on the path to victory. Currently available for the purse-positive price of $269.99, the Arc A750 OC delivers ultimate visuals and AI acceleration via the advanced Xe cores. Here’s the tech specs:

• Graphics processor: Intel Arc A750 graphics processor, 2.2 GHz clock rate 
• Memory: 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM memory 16 Gbps

• Connect: 1 x HDMI 2.1 and 3 x DisplayPort 2.0 
• AI: AI-enhanced upscaling with XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) 
• Cooling: Hybrid cooling & vapor chamber maximizes heat dissipation

Performance-wise, the Arc A750 OC has a 2.2 GHz clock rate to handle the latest AAA titles, and then seamlessly stream your abundant victories. DirectX Raytracing, variable rate shading, mesh shading, and sampler feedback usher in a new era of graphic realism, while XeSS Super Sampling brings  high resolutions, high frame rates, and high image fidelity to the gaming table.

A hybrid cooling mechanism ensures that temps stay nice n’ frosty. This design incorporates an axial ringed fan with a blower style design alongside the vapor chamber. The GPU and fan speed, as well as graphics stings can be tweaked to perfection via the Predator BiFrost utility APP. Game, create, stream and dominate with the Arc A750 OC, and check in with Acer Intelligent Space to link up with the latest compatible AI applications.

Predator BiFrost Intel Arc A770 OC Graphics Card

Moving on to the Predator BiFrost Intel Arc A770 OC, you can see that this beauty has a custom-engineered Predator cooling solution. More about that shortly. This GPU is currently available for $399.99, let’s take a peek at the jaw-dropping tech-specs:

• Graphics processor: Intel Arc A770 OC graphics GPU with 2.20 GHz clock; Overclock to 2.40 GHz 
• Memory: 16 GB GDDR6 VRAM memory 
• Max resolution: 7680 x 4320 (8K) 
• Connect: 1 x HDMI 2.1 and 3 x DisplayPort 2.0. PCI Express 4.0 host interface (2 slots) 
• AI: AI-enhanced upscaling with XeSS (Xe Super Sampling) 
• Cooling: Custom-engineered Predator BiFrost cooling; FrostBlade™ 2.0 Fan, 5th Gen AeroBlade™ 3D fan & Vapor Chamber Streamlining Airflow

Featuring the same Xe-cores with built-in Intel® XMX AI capabilities and advanced 3D acceleration hardware as the A750 OC, this GPU has double the memory, and clocks in at 2.20 GHz with an overclock to 2.40 GHz. If you’re a creator, as well as a gamer, this graphics card may well be what your life is missing.
