Intel Arc A770 — Benchmarks & Specs

16 GB VRAM225W TDP$349 MSRP2022

Short answer: the Intel Arc A770 generates a median 52.6 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 7 cited runs from llama.cpp GitHub Discussion, KnightLi llama.cpp GPU Scoreboard and diunox/arc-inference-bench. Its 16 GB of VRAM holds up to gpt-oss-20b at MXFP4 with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (14 of 23 models fit). At the $710.19 Amazon price checked 3 h ago (prices change), that is 74.0 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index.

Bottom line: how fast is the Intel Arc A770?

SpecPicks median: 52.6 tokens/sec across 7 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 15.4–67.1 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub Discussion (3 runs), KnightLi llama.cpp GPU Scoreboard, diunox/arc-inference-bench (3 runs). At the $710.19 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 74.0 tok/s per $1,000. At 1440p Prioritize Graphics, the Intel Arc A770 averages 72 fps in Resident Evil 4 (2023 Remake), per Gamers Nexus. For local LLM inference it generates 19.0 tokens/sec running deepseek-coder-v2-lite:16b at q4_K_M under ipex-llm, per Local AI Master. In 3DMark Fire Strike (GPU subscore) it scores 33,666 points, per PC Unboxing. It has 16 GB of VRAM, and the deepseek-coder-v2-lite:16b run above (16B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
