SOMEONE ONCE had an idea that sounded good, but while the circumstances changed, the idea remained. An Arc A770 8GB might have made sense back in 2021, giving people the choice between a $600 16GB and a $500 card with half the memory-those were early estimated prices at the time when Intel was running a contest with Arc GPUs as the prizes. But with the cards only seeing the light of day at the end of 2022 and with significant price cuts since, there's little reason to opt for the A770 8GB over the A770 16GB.
Granted, there's not a massive difference in performance between the 8GB and 16GB A770 cards in our benchmarks, at least not most of the time. They're tied or close enough to it in a lot of games. But then you come to Forza Horizon 5, which surpasses 8GB of VRAM use even at 1080p, and performance takes a big hit. That's likely to happen in more games with Spider-Man: Miles Morales being another prime example. At 1440p, the 16GB A770 doubles the performance of the 8GB variant.
