looks like that has PCIe Gen 3 support. Should be fine

GThat's enough bandwidth for Arc cards
Athey are gen 3 all pcie slots
Aand its x8 bus lane
GWell, if it makes you feel better, people can run 4090s on PCIe gen 3.0 x16 with about 75% of the performance; see here: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-pci-express-scaling/22.html
GArc cards use nowhere near as much bandwidth as a 4090
Atrue i heard about intel arc today
Aseems intel getting better real fast
Aspecially with their 256 bit and all rtx cards has 128 bit thats real slow lol
Aeven funnier 4090 costs 2k usd and intel arc performances better
Gthe 4090 is much much faster than the strongest Arc card, I'm afraid
GBut still overpriced true
GThis is Intel's top card at the moment; it's about 30% as performant as a 4090 lol https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-a770.c3914
Aim sure intel will beat 4090 cuz 256bit in terms of memory speed lol
Gthat isn't everything
Aquite difficult to know what recommended psu for this card with my current hardware lol
Gwhat's your current one's wattage?
Amy psu?
GYep
Aat least 700w
Goh that's plenty
Ahopefully that card doesnt overheat on me lol
GThe A770 is about a 230W card
Git's quite low power
A225 what i saw*
GMore specifically, yes
Aim suprised with prices with that card
GIt gets a lot of bad press due to poor Windows drivers, but if you're on Linux it's very smooth
GThat likely lowers the overall pricing
Awell, if you using beta driver ofc gonna be bad in windows lol
VWon't lie, arc is quite appealing to me
GUnder Linux it's a killer card imo
VI'm more loyal to AMD but intel are tempting
GI personally need higher performance than Arc offers, but I root for Intel
Asame i will go for it so i search for it in my country stores if its possible but it might be risky move cause where i from there is no safety from customers buyer those who increase prices 2x higher than original
VI have a 6700xt which does me well, but I'd look at intel for when I need an upgrade.
VTo be honest though I'm done with desktops so whatever I get will be used as an eGPU for a laptop.
GIntel mainly needs to keep competing in the low-mid range, where both AMD and especially Nvidia suck
GI'm talking like the 200-400 dollar budget range
VAMD are doing pretty well there, Intel could do better but it'll be hard. ARC gen 2 will be more revealing I think.
GWe'll have both Arc gen 2 and RDNA 4, which is said to focus more in that range, so definitely good things to come
VFor sure
KI'd wait for the new gen, none of the current Intel cards are an upgrade over a 6700xt
VI mean, that's what I was alluding too lol
KOh derp. Yeah that makes sense. Sorry, I'm waiting for tea to brew and am not yet properly functional this morning 
JMy Intel Arc card performs bad on Windows but that's because I don't have above 4G decoding support or resizable bar support. It works great on Linux I think Linux doesn't care about that stuff being enabled in the bios unlike windows
KI've been debating the sidegrade from my 6700xt to an Arc A770 just for extra 4gb of VRAM
KOld motherboard?
JSuper old it's a DDR3 platform
Aim so mad with local stores they dont even have intel arc a750 or a770 
KCheck Amazon, its where I'd get one if I was going to
