Still no news on my ASRock challenger, ordered on the 20th, was hoping for this week but maybe not

Intel Battlemage Live & Available to order from OcUK
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
hopefully, not much longer to wait as i ordered my Asrock Steel Legend on 17/12 and not heard anything yet... although, I did get a DPD message advising I'm receiving a parcel from France - not sure if it's related or not! LOL!
Which setting is that?
I assume they had nvec turned on

Sorry for the late reply bud, i just managed to get on the PC
I cant post images directly but its this one, the encoder. I changed it from software x264 to hardware qsv.h264
Thanks. I suspected that might be it but it was worth checking.

DPD just delivered mine, was initially expecting Royal Mail because i selected the free delivery option
Mine arrived today too, can't wait to get it installed

DXVK is incredibly useful for the Arc cards, I guess Battlemage will be the same.
I never did any numbers benchmarks, but Snowrunner had some quite annoying stutter for me when i tried it on the A770. Using DXVK, after someone else had mentioned the same issue and solution on Reddit, this seemed to disappear.

Got mine a few days ago, it will probably be in a secondary PC at some point..
But thought it was only fitting to snap this pic

Seeing the numbers from all this driver hubbub, I don't think you should risk buying fundamentally flawed product, although it indeed seems... "fine" for 1440p at this point in time with a "good" cpu.
But my real point of this post is more that... man, **** budget 1440p cards. **** budget cards in general. Seeing new cards struggle to get 55 FPS in current games, ray tracing is such a broken feature, that die space would be so much more useful with just more cores or something, IDK anything about GPU architecture, but in 1 year when these "1440p" cards are more like... "980p" cards, I'm sure you'll be glad all that RND and die space went into ray tracing. Ray tracing should have only been a thing on like 8 cards so far, as a justification for the new higher prices found at the top of the stacks. Stuff like an "rtx 3050" is laughably oxymoronic. Should be GTX up until like the 80 series or something, IDK.

I think the issue is the price point now, back when it was £250 MSRP it was great value, even despite the driver issues, now it's reaching 4060 prices and the 4060 is more suitable to older or lower grade CPU's, so that looks like a more obvious choice to most people

Update on the Haribo please.Got mine a few days ago, it will probably be in a secondary PC at some point..

The new HUB video goes into a fair amount of detail, worth a watch but honestly I did skip a bit as it's pretty dense.
the HUB video is a complete waste of time.. rattles on about 1080p performance.. where really it's been aimed at 1440p - yet when compared to the AMD and Nvidia offerings - it outperforms them at this - even with a 5600...
Interestingly, he doesn't seem to test any other GPU with weaker processors (or processors that don't meet manufacturers minimum specs).. I wonder why...

I wouldn’t say that. I’d of course prefer the numbers to be better at 1080p, but they’re hardly atrocious as is. We want to see testing like this, as it’s the only way we’ll see Intel attempt fixes.
I don’t need to see any videos to tell me what I already know about my card, but potential buyers of the B580 will want to see what they can expect.
I hope he does do some testing with the 12400, as he mentioned. I used the A770 with this and it was great. Would be interesting to see Intel benchmarks.

Haribo?... All I got was the little gremlin in the pic..
Joking obviously I got mine elsewhere
I got mine elsewhereCuriously, despite blaming CPU overhead, there are no CPU usage figures in the video.
He tests the RTX 4060 and an AMD GPU. He has only so much time.
The other thing is that the games are cherry-picked. There are games that have problems with Intel GPUs but there are games which do not.
