The Intel Arc owners thread

RSR said:
Split a single slot into many, in its most basic sense.

As an example, a GPU would use a single X16 or X8 lanes from a wired X16 PCIe slot. When you use bifurcation, you can turn that same slot into an X8/X8 or X4/X4/X4/X4. This is normally found with storage devices and some GPUs that have M.2 slots on them.

That makes sense thanks.
 
I'm not, but my understanding is that you will be having a pretty terrible time buying Arc for VR. It was the case last year, and they've had no focus on VR support in this time.

I am a big Arc fan, but buy something else for this use case.
 
I remember reading a discussion on some site about this around half a year ago. I cannot find the link but I clearly remember the Intel Arc cards do not actually have native support for VR.
I think you still need to use a program called Virtual Desktop to make the card run a VR application. So Intel Arc can be used for VR but with the extra step needed and Intel not really pushing into supporting VR, it might not be worth it.
 
I'm putting together a second PC to use at home and just ordered a Ryzen 5600. Want to pair it with a B580 but I realise that I've just missed out on it being £215 with Battlefield 6 included.

Annoying! Still have a 1060 to use will wait until there is another great deal like that

I'm like this, I won't buy something if it's been on offer recently
 
Hopefully this driver update will improve performance on lower end CPU's. I doubt many people are pairing these with top end X3D chips the review systems are based around. I'm planning on upgrading my son's 1070ti soon so it'll be interesting to see how the B580 performs with a 5800X over PCIe 3.0.
 
Is 768 GB VRAM and 16 GPUs enough for you?
