I recently purchased an open box Intel Arc A770 Challenger OC for $150, and I'm not really happy with its gaming performance, particularly with modded versions of Minecraft and Fallout: New Vegas. This is my first real PC build, and I'm trying to stick to a budget. I'm wondering if there's something I might be doing wrong or if it's worth it to sell this GPU for an upgrade.

Intel's Arc cards can struggle with older graphics APIs, particularly in older games, as they often aren't optimized like AMD or NVIDIA cards. It sounds like you're already trying some tweaks, like setting up DXVK. Just so you know, they generally just don't perform as well in those scenarios, so keep that in mind while gaming.
Did you upgrade from another GPU, or is this your first one? It's important to compare how your games are running against benchmarks from online reviews. Think about what you’re feeling—are the low FPS numbers a consistent issue or just in certain games?
