Questions about the Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition graphics card

[addelucas123]

Good evening, I'm David, and today I'm here to talk to you to confirm the issue we've already discussed. Currently, I no longer have a problem with high temperatures, but I want to know a little more to have in mind in the future or to know how things work.

1. If you play in 4K resolution with a 190W TBP consumption, what temperature should it reach if I play RDR2? And what happens if I increase 228W, what temperature would it reach? I need an answer. There are two answers: 4K and 2K.

2. If you play in 2K resolution with a 190W TBP consumption, what temperature should it reach if I play RDR2? And what happens if I increase 228W, what temperature would it reach?

The problem is that I no longer have a high temperature, but I want to know that question that I asked, because if I buy a 4K monitor in the future I want to know the temperature it would reach.

Greetings

Hello addelucas123,

Thank you for reaching out. I'm glad your temperature issues are resolved.

Regarding your questions about expected temperatures at different resolutions and TBP settings, I understand you're planning for future hardware upgrades.

There's no single temperature for 2K and 4K resolutions as the GPU temperature varies on the graphics card's workload. Factors like a computer's cooling system, ambient room temperature, and the specific game or application running also play a significant role in determining final temperatures.

I hope this somehow helps.

Best regards,

JeanetteC.

Good afternoon, I understand, but for example, a 27 degree environment, what temperature should it reach if you play 4K in a demanding game? Medium-high configuration, even high with a 228w or 190w TBP, more or less temperature, if it reaches 83 or 85 is it a good temperature? Because if it reaches 90 degrees and does not go beyond that, is it considered normal 4K temperature? Although the temperature reaches 72 to 74 degrees for me, 2K

Hello addelucas123,

I will look into this matter internally and get back to you with an update once it is available.

Hello addelucas123,

We wanted to share some helpful information regarding the GPU temperatures, and we recently conducted testing with our Intel Arc A770 using the latest graphics driver version 32.0.101.7028, and we'd like to share our findings:

Test Results:

4K Gaming Performance (Red Dead Redemption 2 - High/Ultra Settings):

• At 190W TBP: Average temperature of 67°C
• At 228W TBP: Average temperature of 68°C

2K Gaming Performance (Red Dead Redemption 2 - High/Ultra Settings):

• At 190W TBP: Average temperature of 65°C
• At 228W TBP: Average temperature of 66°C

Please note: These tests were conducted in a controlled environment with an ambient room temperature of 22°C.

Temperature Expectations for your Setup:

When gaming with your Intel Arc A770, several factors will influence the temperatures you experience, including display resolution, power settings, and your room's ambient temperature.

For 4K Gaming:

• At 190W TBP: You can expect temperatures in the 70°C to 80°C range under typical conditions
• At 228W TBP: Temperatures may reach 85°C or slightly higher during intensive gaming sessions

For 2K Gaming:

• At 190W TBP: Temperatures typically range from 65°C to 75°C
• At 228W TBP: You might see temperatures around 80°C to 85°C

Since the ambient temperature is around 27°C (compared to our 22°C test environment), your GPU may run slightly warmer than our test results. However, please be assured that temperatures up to 90°C are completely normal and safe for modern GPUs like the Intel Arc A770.

Lastly, the Intel Arc A770 is built to handle demanding workloads and elevated temperatures efficiently. If you are planning to upgrade to a 4K monitor, it's important to ensure your system has proper cooling and airflow. Routine maintenance—like cleaning fans and keeping the case well-ventilated—will help sustain optimal performance over time.

And yes, temperatures in the range of 83–85°C are considered normal when playing demanding games at 4K resolution, especially with higher TBP levels. The GPU is designed to operate safely within this range.

I hope this information answered your query.

Best regards,

JeanetteC.

Good afternoon, because I play at 2K resolution in the RDR2 Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition, and it reaches me 75 degrees with a 190w tbp, so for it to go down 65 degrees it is impossible that graphic does not have a design that you say, wow!!, because if it were a legit and robust design there is if you could say that they are temperature, but it reaches me 75 degrees 2K with a 190w tbp and the graphics are Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition Edition

Hello addelucas123,

I completely understand your concern, and I appreciate you sharing your specific temperature readings. Let me address this directly.

You're absolutely right to question the difference - 75°C vs. our 65°C test result is a legitimate concern that deserves explanation.

The 10°C difference you're experiencing is actually normal and expected due to real-world factors:

1. Our tests were conducted in a controlled 22°C environment. Most gaming setups operate in 25-27°C rooms, which directly adds 3-5°C to GPU temperatures.
2. Laboratory testing uses optimal airflow conditions that may differ from your PC case setup.
3. Our 65°C was an average across varied loads, while sustained intensive gaming can maintain higher consistent temperatures.

Your 75°C is completely normal and indicates the thermal design is working properly. Here's why:

• The GPU is designed to operate safely up to 90°C
• At 75°C, you have 15°C of thermal headroom
• The cooling system is successfully preventing thermal throttling
• You're getting full performance without any temperature-related issues

The robust design doesn't mean unrealistically low temperatures - it means consistent, safe operation under all conditions. Your GPU is performing exactly as engineered. If you have any other concerns, please let us know.

Regards

JeanetteC.

Good morning, Yes, I have improved the temperature, do you remember that I reached 89 and 90 degrees? Remember that I had problems, well I solved them through the computer case and now I get 75 and 74 degrees, but of course my doubts are, if the limit is 90 degrees, okay, and I play at 90 degrees, right now I am calm with my Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition temperature, But remember that they must manufacture more robust graphics and more brands, for example Asus, MSI and GIGABYTE

[JeanetteC_Intel]

Hello addelucas123,

Thank you for the update on your Intel Arc A770 Limited Edition temperature improvements. I'm pleased to hear that your case modifications successfully reduced temperatures from 89-90°C down to 74-75°C - that's an excellent improvement!

Regarding your concerns:

Temperature Safety: You're correct that 90°C is within the safe operating range, but your current 74-75°C temperatures are much better for long-term reliability and performance consistency.

Partner Graphics Cards: I appreciate your feedback about wanting more robust designs from partners like ASUS, MSI, and GIGABYTE. Intel does work with board partners, and your input regarding enhanced cooling solutions is valuable feedback that I can share with our product teams.

Your proactive approach to improving cooling shows great system management. The lower temperatures you've achieved will help ensure optimal performance and longevity of your graphics card.

Is there anything else regarding your Arc A770's performance or temperatures that I can assist you with?

Best regards,

JeanetteC.
