Have you been frustrated at the crazy prices being asked for GPUs these days? For many content creators and gamers, even mid-range graphics cards have become prohibitively expensive over the last few years.

If you’re planning a GPU upgrade in the near future, we have some excellent news: Intel’s new Arc 7 graphics cards seem to offer the perfect combination of high power and modest cost. The long-awaited Arc A770 and A750 GPUs offer 32 Xe and 28 Xe cores, respectively, with at least 8GB of memory. Intel claims that the Arc A750 will outperform an Nvidia RTX 3060 — and the best part is that the new card will retail for under $350.

If you’re less interested in building a PC from scratch, and would rather purchase a pre-made system, don’t worry — Intel’s Arc GPUs are already creeping into various readymade machines:

The ABS Stratos Aqua system is a fantastic gaming rig. With the onboard Intel GPU’s Xe SuperSampling technology, Counter Strike missions are guaranteed to look silky smooth, with realistic shadows and reflection detail.
The Thermaltake LCGS Quartz features an Intel Arc A750 GPU and will help creatives make better content in less time. AV1 hardware encoding support and Intel’s XMX AI capabilities make 3D animation and editing effortless.
The iBUYPOWER SlateHako2120i desktop would make a fantastic choice for gamers who like to live stream their sessions. Intel’s Deep Link technology features built-in background removal, auto camera framing, and plenty of options that make it simple to stream like a pro.

As you can see, Intel’s new cards should add plenty of variety to the current PC landscape, especially at such competitive prices. Whether you’re looking for a killer new gaming rig, a video editing powerhouse, or a content creation beast, these new GPUs are definitely worth checking out.

A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.

The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.

For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.

The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.

Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.

For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
