ARC 770 16GB

Intel Arc is not mature enough yet in my opinion.
If you're aware 16GB doesn't make it equivalent to a 4080, then nope.

It's great in some games, and terrible in others. The middle-ground never really seems to exist.
Got mine for 1699CNY which is under £200, and for this price it's amazing.
I hope they continue developing drivers.

was 300 at one point

The compute power is definitely there. When you mess about with stable diffusion, the results are truly great. In 3dmark it also punches well above it’s weight.
It shows just how bad the drivers are, and the way it seems they need to specifically fix individual games, rather than being able to push a magic bullet. There’s definitely something not right.
I’d love if they could find that magic for older games, but I think ultimately the original Arc cards will only be for people who really like faffing about with tech.

on the MB are long gone and cant be a...d now to spent time doing this.
AMD/Nvidia have been fixing/patching games in the drivers for years, that is why the driver is so massive. It’s made the job of creating a GPU + driver much harder. Just creating a driver that sticks to the spec results in low performance and games bugging out. Ideally the game dev’s would fix things but that does not happen so the driver team is forced to patch/fix things.

It's well overpriced as a gaming GPU; try £299.
New drivers are out which boost performance by 2.7x in Stable Diffusion.
Ah, read-ahead mode was OFF.
I have an A770 and have never had to reinstall Windows because of it.

A couple of years at this rate and Intel drivers should be in an ok position

I think this 2.7x is only over the original release drivers, right? The card's previous drivers already performed great for it, but it's just not something I really need to use. It does give me hope for smaller local language models running at quality speed (easily) soon. I know there are already plenty of ways to do it, but I don't really want to mess around too much on this PC for this. On nvidia it just sort of works.

Really, they're in an okay position right now, but it appears they can still significantly improve.
I don't know. I've never tried Stable Diffusion.
oh man you living under a rock? its the next big thing your missing out on everyone's doing it now
