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 8GB 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.

8 GB is this card's real limit

8 of the 16 titles we model exceed 8 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.
