Let's hope they'll introduce some solid competition into the GPU market.

Wonder what the driver support will be like..

I was hoping this could be a viable option for someone who last built a new PC nearly a decade ago now, and can't stomach the idea of spending more on one flagship card than my entire old build cost altogether.

At the same time, with all the invasive changes Microsoft has made to Windows during that time, I am not building another Windows PC. Last I looked the Intel Arc series of cards had crappy support for Linux so hopefully that improves.

I'm happily running my Linux gaming machine with steam and an AMD Radeon RX580.

I'm also happily playing decades-old games, so maybe I'm not stressing it! Last I checked, it ran Warframe just fine on windows, but that was a few years ago now.

Right my GPU died the other day, in thought about upgrading and shits damn expensive.

Leak

Fuckin "advert"

Be nice, Intel can't afford real marketing these days.

We are now in the days where gamers can run an AMD cpu and an Intel GPU. Weird timeline.

This is me lol. Ryzen 3600 and Intel ARC A750.

How is the ARC? I heard game compat is getting better at a very rapid pace. Its a beautiful looking card i was considering buying on of the lowest tiers for encoding.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I got it specifically for Linux usage. I had a 2060 before that, but got fed up with NVidia's drivers and replaced it with the ARC. I only need Vulkan and OpenGL, so the performance pitfalls on Windows don't really apply to my usage. It works perfectly on Linux, but I ran into issues literally just trying to update the drivers on Windows.

I'm optimistic. Their last GPUs had issues but were good for the price, it's been two years since then so I'm expecting big changes.

B770 when?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

The leaks say it’s not even taped out. So minimum late 2025 or 2026 or never sadly.

As an A770 owner I wish I had better news.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Are they going to be more open compared to AMD/NVIDIA?
