A total of 12 Games were benchmarked.

Intel ARC A750 RDR2 gameplay was stuttery despite of averaging around 75-77 FPS. Forza Horizon 5 was also stuttering in Arc A750.

The rest of the games were running smoothly on the Intel Arc A750.

Conclusion

RTX 3060 12 GB beats the Intel Arc A750 on most of the games but in some games, Arc A750 performed better with only 4-5 fps ahead.

They were pretty close though RTX 3060 takes the lead. RTX 3060 with more VRAM is a better card compared to Arc A750 though the price difference is about $100. Arc A750 is much cheaper now with under $200 price while RTX 3060 is under $300.

I would still say RTX 3060 is much better with more VRAM and gives you better performance than Arc A750 which has some stutters during the gameplay plus Nvidia supports more games than Intel does.

FAQs

Is the Nvidia RTX 3060 still good in 2024?

It is performing fine at 1080p gaming even in 2024, easily getting 60+ fps on Ultra settings on most AAA games. Though there are some heavy Graphics demanding games it will struggle at Ultra settings so lower down to High/med will let you enjoy those games smoothly.

RTX 3060 will also play games at 1440p med/high settings due to its 12GB memory buffer.

RTX 3060 vs Intel Arc A750 which is better?

RTX 3060 is better than Arc A750 but not by a huge margin. Intel Arc A750 compared to RTX 3060 has better hardware specs but architecture differences and software support are holding it back.

What are the computing capabilities of RTX 3060 and Arc A750?

Nvidia RTX 3060 compute capability is Tflops 12.74 TFLOPS while Arc A750 compute capability is 17.20 Tflops.
