Intel Arc a380 vs UHD 770

[shaiuxx]

Hello,

so, my question is pretty simple.
Are there any differences for the Quicksync H.264 encoding quality on a Arc a380 vs a integrated UHD 770 iGPU?
And if there are any, what is the difference.

I'm only interested in the H.264 info.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Jean,

I'm not looking for a comparison in the meansnof gaming performance, but in the encoding quality of the H.264 QuickSync encoder.

Just to clarify what information I am looking for.

Thank you for looking for the necessary information. 🙂

Hi Jean,

I too would like to know. I am considering purchasing an Intel A380 and am looking for verifiable data/info surrounding it's performance. An answer to the aforementioned question would help me toward a purchasing decision.

Hi Jean. I can only speak for myself, but what I can say is that I don't expect you to run any benchmarks as I am aware how variable these results can be and how many factors come into play.

What I personally would like to know is the difference in compute capability between the uhd 770 media engines and those inside the arc A380, specifically for encoding purposes. Is it more equivalent to an 11th gen iGPU, 12th gen? It is better, worse, or equal to any of these? Is it even comparable? It's really just a vague guage of performance, doesn't need to be specific.

Personally I am just looking for clarification on what the media engines in the A380 are and how much capability they have compared to the iGPU's inside modern Intel CPU's.

Hello Jean,

Im my case I'm looking for a general comparison of the H.264 encoder AND in the application "OBS Studio".

Thasnks for asking. 🙂

Hello Jean,

it has been 12 days since you last replied here.
May I ask if you got any updates?

Best regards.

Hello everyone,

We appreciate your patience.

This time, we would like to inform you that both are based on the Xe architecture; however, unfortunately, we don't provide benchmarking details. We do recommend checking 3rd party benchmarks as they would help you get a better picture of which one performs better in that particular scenario.
