In video games, graphics cards signed Intel would be much less festive than on synthetic measurement tools.
Just yesterday we relayed the results of an Intel Arc Alchemist A730M board built into a laptop. Limited to 3DMark, these results were encouraging since the card exceeded those of an RTX 3070 Laptop signed NVIDIA.
Between the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060
Relayed by our colleagues from Videocardzthe tests of another user, however, sing a very different song, all the more interesting since these tests were not carried out with a synthetic tool like 3DMark can be.

This time, the A730M was tested with several games: Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, F1 2020 as well as Metro Exodus. Each time, two image definitions were used, 1080p and 1440p. Alas, here we are quite far from the performance of an RTX 3070 Laptop.

On Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, for example, you have to settle for 38 frames per second in 1080p and barely 32 fps in 1440p. relatively light, F1 2020 fares better at 123 fps and 95 fps respectively, but it’s worth pointing out that an RTX 3050 does 120 fps at 1080p.

Finally, with Metro Exodus, you have to make do with 70 fps in Full HD while 1440p tops out at 55 fps with “high” details. A better result than on an RTX 2070 (66 fps in “medium” 1080p), but not as good as on an RTX 3060 (80 fps).
Optimization still in progress?
Along with these measurements, the author publishes a capture of the software Intel Arc ControlPanel. We see that the GPU would be stalled on 2050 MHz / 92 Watts while the video memory would be at 874 MHz. However, the question arises of the rigor of these values.
We also wonder about the activation or not of the Intel DTT (Dynamic Tuning Technology) which, at the time of the first tests of the A350M had had a very negative impact on performance. Still, these results are much less exciting than those of yesterday.
The performance level of the Arc A730M would only be around the NVIDIA RTX 3050 / RTX 3060 solutions and the 3DMark / video game lag seems to show big optimization concerns… which Intel is working on, which would justify the delays of the solutions desktop ?
