The Intel Arc owners thread

I've never bothered with DDU.

When used it last time I BSOD and it killed my OS.

Last time i'll use that, just use uninstall, reboot and install new drivers.

Intel may still launch a B7XX class GPU this year

Intel Is Reportedly Preparing New Battlemage Graphics Cards, New Device IDs Appear In Linux Graphics Driver Code

Intel has added three more PCI IDs to the Mesa 3D graphics driver code that suggests more Battlemage discrete GPU solutions are coming soon.

Best sort out the CPU overhead otherwise not interested. Also hardware DX9.

They'd be utter fools to not do so.

This appears to be a software issue; fine wine will almost certainly apply.

I think you should just buy something else.

Unrelated to any B770, but I changed Black Myth Wukong to use XeSS 2, rather than the garbage version it uses by default. What a difference it makes. Running it at a lower res for upscale, means I am not missing the frame gen of FSR. The difference in the water between FSR and XeSS is extreme.

People who are buying B7XX level cards would typically have more powerful CPU's anyway so the overhead is less of an issue.

Think I got to the bottom of it, wasn't my machine. There was a stray header from the case that was floating around and resting on an unused header port on the mobo

Being a bit bored with the bickering in the RDNA 4 thread and having a POS temp gpu I decided to buy the Sparke Arc B580 Titan. So fare pretty impressed with the performance. Will post a pic later for proof. It's pulling some punches above its weight class.

Anyone with Sparkle A380 ELF (the ITX sized one) here? How does the fan work for you? Mine's ramping up and down 10 times a minute, it's even worse on idle, it just stops completely, then ramps up, repeat, and since this is in a system that's on 24/7, which means it's doing that 14400 times a day, that can't be good for the longevity of the fan, I'd rather have the fan run constantly or at least not run for an extended period of time and only starting when some cooling is needed.

Looking around, looks like it's a normal thing for this particular GPU and there doesn't seem to be a solution for this outside of using 4 pin motherboard -> GPU fan adapter, system isn't using Windows so my options for fan control are limited, or non-existent, I tried using LACT, didn't work.

The GPU is also hardlocked to 43w TDP, which is a bit disappointing but not the issue here.

Could be crap thermal paste on it. Worth a repaste, or PTM7950?
