It's even worse than that, Vega looks good compared to this.This feels like Vega in many ways, I suspect there's lot of area dedicated to compute in there that brings minimal benefits in games...

Lisa was right to do that, it certainly bore fruit. It seems she was also right to get rid of Raja and his team as we are now seeing (I'm sure the 'poor Volta' guys went with him given some of Intel's early marketing).One of the things that sticks with me about Raja and his GPU is his ambition, its a huge ambition, i'm sure its big enough to convince Intel just as it did AMD, they even decoupled the GPU segment, renamed it Radeon Technologies Group and put him as an independent head of it, its what he wanted.
As soon as he was out Lisa took a few Ryzen engineers over there with her and within just a few short months relaunched the iGPU architecture that was Vega at the time with a 50% performance per watt improvement on the same node, just by fiddling with it around the edges, his skill didn't match his ambition, Intel should give ARC to AMD, i'm sure they can fix it in a few weeks.
then why don't they turn it on?"intel Arc without rBAR is simple unplayable"
That is not looking good , sounds like major driver issues as well as hardware problems
A genuinely well produced insight to the A770 and ARC thinking by Intel put together by Linus, with Intel assistance of course. The tier approach to performance and price is very interesting as well, looking forward to seeing where they settle with the A770. I will say though, the card itself looks great.
then why don't they turn it on?
You need to say it to discourage people from buying it as an upgrade on old hardware.
Lets hope the price is low like the video is Suggesting, and maybe it will be okay
So I watched the Linus video from end to end & if it's really going to come in cheap (definitely loss-making for Intel given the process & die size) & if the drivers are better than what we've seen so far at least for the most popular titles, there might be a place they can fit ?
But a whole video that's basically just caveats & apologies ? It's going to have to be really cheap to make sense.
The harsh reality is most titles are DX11 & below, even at the cutting edge. I also noticed a complete lack of power consumption discussion. I guess if they're aimed at mid-range but consuming power like a high-end AMD/ Upper mid NVidia card, then it's not the end of the world, but they'll have to be cheaper again.
And if you're doing productivity stuff ? eh, I wouldn't gamble.
All I can say after watching a video that was desperately trying to be honest but also positive is; they had better be very aggresviely priced.
Oh yeah, it was kind of gross, as well as their cheesy adverts they insert, which is why I never normally watch the channel. But I was trying to be fair & open minded.Trying to be a little too positive, like having to run Re-Bar as a positive rather than telling it for what it is, a problem.
The daft little 'yay' and screen confetti at the "starting at £130 for the A380" as if that is something to cheer about, you can get better GPU's for the same sort of money from both their competitors, that's not a good start on the pricing. Some screen confetti makes it that tho right?![]()
stil no word on if they can do ray tracing? they can't be worse th an AMD at it surely
Well, the "we bought our own cards" reviews from those German sites are out:
