The Intel Arc A770 is a surprising bargain and runs 4K games? Maybe

Here I am with the Intel Arc A770, a fantastic GPU which I purchased for myself so I could use it in a budget PC build guide (https://youtu.be/fLV7AfF4VEk). But during that I wanted to see if it could handle my favourite games. We “accidentally” played Escape From Tarkov in 4K and it was surprisingly good. So I ran a bunch of other tests with it to see how it would perform in 4K. I tried these games:

Escape from Tarkov
Forza Horizon 5
Dirt 5
Control
Rainbow Six Siege
Cyberpunk 2077
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
