For the past decade, there wasn’t a better combination than having a top of the line Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU when it comes to PC gaming. Now, things have definitely changed. The introduction of Intel’s Arc line-up of GPUs have put both Nvidia and AMD on notice. They offered DirectX 12 Ultimate compatibility, ray tracing, resolution upscaling and came with a respectable amount of VRAM.
Besides coming in around 2022 at an approachable price, they’ve also gone the third-party manufacturer route as well. The Arc GPUs may currently lack the performance benchmarks of Nvidia and AMD but reception has genuinely been positive. One year in, reports have found that Intel has 4 percent of the GPU market with plenty of room to grow.
