will version 2023 or 2024 work with this graphic card or am i better with nvidia rtx 4060/4070 (price range)
any help appreciated
Hi Brian
MMS 2024 and 2023 should work with the Intel Arc a770, providing it is selected as the GPU for the Import, Processing and Export options in the program settings, Device options tab.
Export times will depend on the video format/resolution - eg 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 exporting as AV1 or HEVC require significantly more 'horsepower' than FullHd 1920 x 1080 AV1, HEVC or 4KUHD h.264/AVC, which in themselves require more 'horsepower' than FullHD h.264/AVC encoded.
However - certain effects applied to the video formats stated above are processed using the CPU and are not hardware accelerated on the GPU's, irespective of the Device options settings.

such a great answer
thanks for that

You may find this article interesting.

Scroll down to "Key Takeaways". Not very flattering for the ARCs. Magix does work well with NVidia GPUs, that is certain.
There's some interesting info on GPU performance coming out in this topic (no ARC info, unfortunately):

thanks for info above,
the pc store has fitted the intel card for now and he said if its an issue he will change it to nvidia for me
its so damn complicated all this stuff

I know this is a little late but:-
Last April I was considering buying the Intel ARC 770 and opened a topic here https://www.magix.info/us/forum/upgrading-my-computer-again--1333778/?page=1
In it I mention that I emailed Magix support asking them about their tests with MS2024, Intel GPUs and Nvidia GPUs. In an attempt to encourage them to answer I did mention that I suspected they couldn't really comment and give suggestions.
Their reply was "As you say, we don't usually give advice on hardware. What I can say is that we have done the best performance tests with INTEL cards, followed by NVIDIA cards" so I was all set to buy the Intel ARC 770.
However, my son gave me his "old" Nvidia RTX 4060 and so I obviously saved a few pennies and didn't get the Intel.
Intel update their drivers at least once a month, I've found a noticeable improvement with my UHD770 GPU chip on my CPU - it's much more stable.
I only use my computer for video/music editing and similar activities; no gaming.
