One can also see all of the lighting channels through the GPU. The end of the GPU has holes for GPU supports, becoming more common in workstations. Here we can see 6-pin plus 8-pin power along the top.

The backplate helps with structural rigidity to keep the PCB and components on its backside safe. As a quick note, we like the clean backplate design as when we review more expensive NVIDIA cards like the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB GPU and they do not have a backplate, it feels strange. Slighly surprising is that Intel did not put “Intel” on the backplate. The back of the card shows the Arc A770 Limited Edition branding. We even learned something new about the desktop GPU line from Intel during the event. The GPU was shown off at a lunch event, and it has a fun backstory. This is the company’s upcoming desktop GPU targeted at the mid-range market. We got to see the upcoming Intel Arc A770 GPU hands-on. At Intel Innovation 2022, we saw an upcoming GPU with a twist.
