After what could kindly only be named an ugly AF launch of the initial low-end Arc GPUs in China, Petersen and Shrout stopped by the entire Nerd set for a frank and honest talk. Intel even why don’t we install an Arc A770 retail card in something to why don’t we play Borderlands 3 at an extremely decent 90 to 100 frames another at 1440p High settings.
