Intel goes to the full: new graphics cards are a fight to AMD & Nvidia

AMD and Nvidia need to put more stuff in the near future when it comes to graphics cards. Because Intel wants to mix again in this area from the beginning of 2022.

Intel Arc: New graphics cards as competition to Nvidia & AMD

NVIDIA or AMD - these are the only two companies currently in question for PC players when it comes to graphics cards. But next year, a well-known rival should also rise to the graphics card ring: Intel. The chip manufacturer has been working on its own GPU models named Arc. In the first quarter of 2022, the first dedicated gaming graphics cards should finally go to the start (Source: Intel).

At the same time for announcement Intel also published a video that shows first game scenes running on the new Intel-Arc graphics cards. The games Mount & Blade 2 Bannerlord, Forza Horizon 4, Psychonauts 2, Pubg, Subnautica Below Zero, Metro Exodus, Rift Breaker, Days Gone, Chivalry 2 and the Crysis-Remastered Trilogy:

GPU performance is still a secret

However, what Intel does not respond in the video or integrates transparent are the performance data of the individual games. In addition, the video was merely rendered with 30 fps, so that there is no time derivations for the performance of the new Intel-Arc graphics cards can be made.

PC players should nevertheless be pleased that Intel will also enter the graphics card business at the beginning of next year. Competition revives the business and should have a positive impact on pricing . However, it remains to be seen whether Intel has also struggled with the hardware crisis in the spring of 2022, whereby the GPU offer could be quite thin.

However, how fast the graphics cards are really in the end will show only when the ARC models go to the start in the first quarter 2022.
