Its intel guys, remember the thread. Let's give Arc a chance eh... then bang on about how superior nvidia are. Intel dont have a chance judging by the mindshare!

yea and it's done by 2 people.This thread seems to have devolved into taking a gigantic dump on Intels initial try at a gaming GPU. Personally I’m rooting for them, imo a third player is good for consumers.
Interesting piece on Fudzilla: https://www.fudzilla.com/news/55242-intel-arc-alchemist-might-be-axed
"Intel's Arc Alchemist might never see a release because of unfixable hardware flaws making for a laughable performance.
The dark satanic rumour mill says that voices inside Chipzilla are calling to scrap Intel's entire Arc discrete graphics line.
Moore's Law is Dead said that the Arc is being dragged down by internal politics and handbag duels at dawn over the company's graphics unit being unable to deliver the much-hyped discrete graphics cards.
At the heart of the issue is a potentially unfixable hardware flaw in the Arc Alchemist GPU that the graphics unit had hoped to address using a driver fix, but that fix isn't working. To make matters worse the problem extends to Battlemage.
The Intel Arc graphics unit has been doing PR for Arc Alchemist cards that Intel told investors would have launched to western markets by the end of the second quarter of this year. We are now in Q3 and there has been sod all in the shops.
Intel AIB partners who, according to a purportedly leaked presentation, were lined up to produce Intel Arc cards starting at the end of July have no idea what is going on and the AIBs are not happy bunnies.
[Kicking] Pat Gelsinger, Intel's CEO apparently has a file on his desk suggesting that Arc discrete graphics project should be binned. Gelsinger acknowledged the disappointing earnings and said that while the global chip shortage was still very much an issue, problems of "execution" on Intel's part also contributed to Intel's falling far short of earnings expectations for Q2.
Intel's AXG chief Raja Koduri tweeted Intel's commitment to Arc Alchemist this year.
"We are very much committed to our roadmap," Koduri said. "We are ramping Alchemist and will continue to improve the experience. You will see more updates from us this quarter. AXG is also on track to ramp 4 new product lines by the end of the year.""
This is not healthy for Intel either, just as "Poor Volta" and "overclockers dream" did serious damage to AMD's reputation, i think Ryan Shrout and Raja Koduri by themselves are toxic, the pair of them in the same company, wow, with all the money in the world Koduri couldn't design a half decent GPU if his job depended on it, but he is brilliant at convincing people he can work miracles, Shrout can stand in front of millions of people and tell then eating dog poo is good for them, with a perfectly straight face and a smile, and he would try, without shame if he thought he could get £2 out of it.
So It's going up against the 1050Ti for £120-£150. Seems about right.
Not sure what the fuss is about, it's a cheap GPU and performs as such.
Pretty much. Intel releases cheap GPU and internet surprised when it performs much like other cheap GPUs.Not sure what the fuss is about, it's a cheap GPU and performs as such.
you know which company provides the most game ready drivers with DLSS implemented etc?
no one is talking about people having issues with drivers...... apart from AMD users anyway
