The Intel Arc owners thread

Oof...

We all know Intel still have some work to do on the GPU side and to be fair not all of this..... thing ..... is Intel's fault, aside from exhibiting some of the known issues with ARC, i mean we know about those things, its not actually that bad as a piece of hardware for this job.
MSI aren't helping with poor implementation, its also very expensive.

I agree with Steve who is confused about its existence, and the man in the Chinese shop who sold it to him being confused as to why Steve wanted to buy it given no one has... for good reason.

There is definitely some Intel money going on, Intel take one of these things wherever they go now saying "look someone trusts us with handhelds, we have come of age" Unfortunately for MSI they are ruining their reputation with handhelds right off the bat...

FTFY ;)
 
The last driver release definitely ran through the vbios update on my bifrost card. I'll install later tonight.
Still just using the Legion Go for all my PC gaming just now. Desktop just doesn't feel like where I want to be. :D
 
Battlemage laptop GPUs will only support DP 2.0, not DP 2.1

 


These look interesting but omg why the blue pcb! Haven't seen a blue pcb since 2005!
Could be worse, they could have gone with one of those generic light green ones they use in OEM machines and server grade products.

Oh god please don't.... Even OEM's don't use green anymore. I'm pretty sure even Dell and HP OEM's use black now lol.

Hopefully they're just engineering samples so the official ones will be black.

Since I've been using this A770, I've noticed decent performance gains with each new driver, and improved power consumption at IDLE with the new BIOS. stability and support wise it's been really good, even gaming at 4K is great. I would def recommend this card at this point to people as a bang for buck viable alternative to AMD and Nvidia.

But not at £330 right? i can think of a serval cards that are way better for between £300 and £400.

its far too expensive.
