Competition for AMD and NVIDIA? Intel provides high-end graphics card with DLSS

Intel presents his fire for high-end graphics cards with ARC. The GPUs will come in spring 2022. We introduce you to the information.

What's it? Intel has presented hand-strong information about its high-end graphics cards under the fire ARC. With these graphics cards you would like to mix the market from the coming year.

This idea of ​​Intel is likely to surprise users who are interested in graphics cards. Because Intel had made clear for several years that you are interested in being a serious third player in the field of modern gaming graphics cards. So far, mainly AMD and Nvidia are fighting for possible buyers of a graphics card.

When should the graphics card come? Manufacturer Intel has at least called a time window, when the graphics card should come: The speech is from the beginning of 2022. The first ARC graphics cards based on the Alchemist generation will be in the first Quarter 2022 on the market and the official start for Intel's entry into the graphics card market mean.

Intel wants to introduce both graphics cards for desktop PCs as well as for gaming laptops, making them similarly wide as the competition, which also offer graphics cards for different devices.

What will the graphics card cost? There are hardly a hard information available here. We do not know prices, but it is quite likely that Intel will be based on the competition. Nvidia's popular GeForce RTX 3080 should give it, for example, for an EIA of 729 euros, but the current market prices are significantly higher.

Whether prices soothe until early 2022 is also questionable.

When is there more info? Intel had explained in his conference that you would like to publish more information about the new high-end graphics cards at the end of 2021. So we have to wait a little until we know more exactly.

At the beginning of 2021, Intel had released Intel Low-End graphics cards for finished PCs

At the beginning of the year, Intel had presented for prefabricated computer low-end video cards. This is the DG1 graphics card Intel Iris Xe Max. These focused mainly on office users and were more suitable for gaming and were not intended. Especially the software made big problems.

Although Intel's coming ARC graphics cards are based on the Xe microarchitecture on which the low-end graphics cards are based, the architecture is called Intel XE-HPG. The HPG stands for High Performance Gaming and is developed under the code name DG2.

How much power will offer the new graphics card from Intel, we do not know yet. The graphics card should definitely provide hardware-based raytracing and KI-controlled super-sampling. There is also full support for DirectX 12 Ultimate.

With Ki technology you want to be competition for NVIDIA and AMD

What does Intel's graphics card? Intel wants to offer with his graphics cards directly from release to Ki-controlled super sampling. This is already very successful in NVIDIA in his Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technique.

AMD also published his FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) in June 2021 in response to DLSS. This grows from month to month the number of supported games. Meanwhile, two major Game Engines AMD's technology also support

How exactly Intel's technology will work, we currently do not know yet. NVIDIAS DLSS technology can only be used on NVIDIA graphics cards with Tensor cores. AMD has opted for an open variant, which also works with graphics cards of the competition.

What causes this technique at all? The goal of all these technologies is to highlight games from a lower resolution to achieve more fluid frame rates without noticeable losses in image quality. In this way, the game runs much more fluid without having to need a faster graphics card.

With DLSS there is a slight way to significantly increase the FPS with consistent quality. This helps above all when the graphics card is already busy. At the GeForce RTX 3060, the performance gain is up to 30%.
