    Perfect timing seeing this video now -- I just got back home from the local Micro Center where I bought an Intel Arc A310!

Glad to see you are covering the Arc series.

    But for new build, it doesn't make sense. You get get an AMD APU that performs not far off. Ryzen 7 5700G has become quite cheap these days, and with some OC and som good DDR4-3600(OC to 4000 is optimal), it's iGPU performance is not far of GTX 1630

    Pretty cool to see these two at all in a video.

Kinda something I could see as "kids first PC" but maybe I'm just projecting my first steps affording only a FX-6300 with a R9 270. Just what could get me in and play something.

    The weirdest part of the a310 is that the a380 seems to be about the same price, especially since I see much less of the a310 in the US. I ran the a380 with way overkill specs for it's little self for awhile (ok, ok, so the Pentium G7400 isn't overkill - but the DDR5 6000mhz ram was, LOL). The a310 is actually quite similar, with less VRAM - though I rotate my side-gaming PC components regularly and it's been a few months... I hit act three in BG3 on that system, and I just couldn't take it...

    For everyone talking about the colours and contrast in the game, that's not the GPU's fault and simply a configuration difference. They can look exactly the same.
    Just by looking at it, I'm pretty sure Nvidia is outputting RGB Limited (16-235) and Intel is outputting RGB full (0-255). The capture card seems to be expecting RGB full and that's why the Nvidia footage looks bad - black and white point is wrong and so the image doesn't have enough contrast.
    This is very simple to fix in the drivers.

    @RGHD can you do a short video comparing these two cards in esports titles like fortnite, warzone, cs2, valorant, apex legends, the finals and xdefiant? because i think if you are thinking about buying these cards in 2024 its probably best to stick with the esports titles with these than trying to play AAA games since they wont be that pleasant of a experience and as the time goes on it will get even worse. so sticking with esports titles is the best choice. maybe they can be a cheap option for people who are looking for a gpu that can do well in esports titles in for quite some time.

    Thanks for the comparisons Buddy I really appreciate it, Do you happen to have on a book shelf a permanent Roster Lineup of Older Gaming Rigs just for testing? Because when it comes to any bus powered video card out in the wild it would really help to test the video cards and compare them in older rigs to see what the Majer Losses are when its running in a slower CPU slower Motherboard slots Slower ram. For a Lineup I would like to suggest one LGA 775, one First Gen Intel, one Second Gen Intel, one Haswell 4th, one Skylake 6th, one Coffelake 8th, one FX 8320 AM3+, one First Gen Ryzen 7. For a permanent Roster lineup of bus powered video cards I suggest GTX 750ti,1030ddr5,1050ti,1650,3050 6GB; bus powered R7 R9, RX 550, RX 460, RX 6400, all Arc cards that are bus powered. Im only guessing but I imagine the Arc Cards will have the largest performance loss compared to any other bus powered video card on the market when you plug it into an old rig such as First Gen Intel or FX8320. The information is vitally important for people that are interested in turning an old oem prebuilt into a gaming pc and they need to know which of the bus powered cards run better in older systems. Thanks again and have a Good Weekend. 😇🙏

    The official TDP of the 1630 is 75W (which is as much as a PCIe slot can provide) and it seems like only certain models of the 1630 like this one you have here require a power connector, likely for overclocking headroom (it's factory overclocked by 30 MHz, absolute gamechanger 😂). In this tier of graphics cards, requiring a power connector or not, and the difference between using 40W and using 75W+ is actually a big deal.

  • @BlueEyedVibeChecker

    One thing I noticed is that the Arc card has a higher contrast and more saturation than the GTX 1630.
    I noticed similar with my Asrock A380 when switching from my 1050 too.
    It's like a side by side of the differences between an LCD and an OLED display, for this alone the Arc wins for me. I'm a sucker for colourful games.

  • @Therealpro2

    So the VRAM figure on Arc cards being higher than actual physical VRAM means that part of the system memory was used to hold textures etc. and when they were required Arc card had direct access to system ram (because of ReBAR)
    On a side note: A310 is an excellent card if you're only looking to use the Intel's QSV hardware encoder and decoder. The A310 has the same silicon for encoder / decoder as A770

The settings and all hardware bar the GPU is the same, yet we get a different view, it shows how important the drivers are.

    many GPU manufacturers put those on sub 75 watt cards to reuse the same PCB for different cards and to make it look more powerful than it really is, leaving it unplugged won't cause any issues and there probably isn't even any power going to the card through it since all of it is coming from the slot

      3. The terrible support for much older games, and I am guess general software from the past.

    There actually one massive problem with availability of these two GPUs.
    Since GTX 1630's release, one of its massive advantages besides able to run on older PCs without a ReBar support, is besicaly that the GTX 1630 being available and can be obtained from pretty much any PC major store and can be bought in ALMOST ANY COUNTRY around world!
    For compaison, for unknown reasons at ARC A310, it does NOT SEEMS to be available in neither Europe (especially East or Central Europe), Australia, Oceania, Africa, and also on Central or South America! I has performed a search for this Intel's entry-level GPU and... Guess - all shops from Google Search's results offering ARC 310 are ONLY and ONLY! from either North America or Asia! if you're from my region - East Europe and Balkans, like: Bulgaria (where I live), Romania, Greece, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Turkey, Greece, Albania, or Central Europe, like: Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary or Czech Republic - there's seems to be FLAT-OUT NO WAY get the ARC 310 there, from the two GPU tested in this video, only GTX 1630 seems to be available in these regions, and 1630 to be also widely available in most other parts of world! So, good luck to be able to get A310 from a country located outside North America or Asia!
    It's shame because A310 on recent gen PCs is definitely performing better than 1630, which on other side is also better for old gen PCs...

      It just looks like one's set to in RGB and one is set to YUV, based on the raised black level of the Nvidia card.
      LONG STORY SHORT: in YUV limited, you miss out on the bottom (darkest) 16 luminance levels for compatibility reasons.
      Because the image can't produce the darkest shades of black, it makes it look gray and a bit dull.
      RGB or YUV Full will always offer all of the luminance levels.
      If he set the Nvidia card to either RGB/Full, the output would look much closer.
