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.

Who a Arc 7 A770 16GB is actually for

This is mainstream 1080p hardware. At that resolution it is usually the component doing the limiting, which is good news for pairing — it will not be held back by a modest processor, so there is no need to spend heavily on the chip beside it.

Pushing it to 1440p is possible in lighter titles, but expect to drop settings in demanding ones.

Is 16 GB enough?

At 1440p and high settings, 16 GB clears every title we model with room to spare. Memory is not the constraint on this card, and it is unlikely to become one within its useful life.
