The Arc A750 Limited Edition ships in a compact blue box, with the Arc branding positioned prominently on the front.
Inside, a quick start guide and ‘thank you' note are the only included accessories.
We've already seen a positive reaction to the design of Intel's Limited Edition cards from our unboxing video and we have to say Intel has done a great job with the aesthetic here. The card is almost entirely matte black, with no gaudy design elements or aggressive angles, and on the underside of the shroud we just get a look at the two 90mm axial fans. It's a very simple, but elegant design and it makes a refreshing change from the RGB monsters we have become used to over the last few years.
That's also true in terms of dimensions, as the Limited Edition is just 2-slots thick and a standard 10.5″, or 266.7mm, length. A metallic silver strip runs the length of the card, replacing the RGB strip that is present on the A770. There is no RGB lighting on the A750, just a white LED that illuminates the Intel Arc logo on the front of the card.
That logo is visible above, along with the front of the shroud. Intel's backplate design is also eye-catching, with a pin-stripe design. The backplate itself is made from plastic and doesn't feel particularly sturdy, but it certainly looks the part.
I've not yet disassembled the cards themselves but above we can see the renders supplied by Intel. The cards use a copper vapour chamber and aluminium fin stack, with a total of four flattened 10mm heat pipes. Air from the two fans blows down onto the cooler and escapes through the back and sides of the card.
Power requirements consist of one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCIe connector – no 12VHPWR here. Meanwhile for display outputs, credit to Intel for coming to market with three DisplayPort 2.0 connectors, the first of any GPU manufacturer to do so, while there's a single HDMI 2.1 port as well.
