Videocards

[KirMak]

Hello, i'm choosing a videocard and I don't really understand the difference between

1) Intel ARC A770 16GB Limited Edition

2) ASRock Intel Arc A770 Phantom Gaming 16GB OC

3) Acer Predator BiFrost ARC A770 OC 16 GB GDDR6

which one is better to take? I need it for 2 things - gaming and AI. So there is a second question, is there a library like cuda for nvidia? Thanks for responding

Hello KirMak

Thank you for posting on the Intel Communities. We appreciate your interest in our Intel® Arc™ A770 GPU and will be happy to answer your questions.

In regard to the difference between the different GPUs, the main difference between assemblers is the frequency since they will usually increase the clock frequencies to a higher value than the Limited Edition GPU, due to this the other main difference will be the thermal design (fan and heatsink) they install on the GPU. We advised that you check with each of our partners for detailed information but you can find the specifications in the following links:

Answering your second question, in case you are going to use AI workloads our GPUs are built with Intel® Xe Matrix Extensions (Intel® XMX) Engines which greatly improve the performance of any type of AI generation. Instead of CUDA cores for Nvidia, our graphics cards use Xe cores for rendering. You can find detailed information about our architecture in the following link:
