Ranked by how little performance the pairing wastes, not by which processor is fastest. The fastest chip pairs well with everything, which makes it a useless recommendation.

What to expect from a Arc 3 A310

This card sits in the lower part of the range we model. It will run modern titles at 1080p with settings turned down, and it will be the limiting component in almost any pairing — which means there is no sense pairing it with an expensive processor.

If frame rates are disappointing, the card is where an upgrade will help. Nothing else in the system is holding it back.

4 GB is this card's real limit

13 of the 16 titles we model exceed 4 GB at 1440p and high settings. On this card memory, not shader throughput, is the thing that will make modern games stutter. Texture quality is the setting to lower first, and it usually costs less visual fidelity than the alternatives.
