Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arc A770 a good deal?

Though the card’s hardware is exceptional for the price, it has some drawbacks, like the driver support, that make it less than ideal as a daily driver.

Which card better suits a small form factor build?

The RTX 4060 packs a lot of performance for its size due to its use of an advanced manufacturing process, allowing Nvidia to build dense circuits.

Is buying the RTX 4060 for frame generation a good idea?

Yes, for some games. Frame generation only works well when the game is already rendered at a smooth FPS, ideally above 40. Any game that runs at 60 FPS after using frame generation will not provide an enjoyable experience.
