For context: DirectX support in Intel’s ARC GPUs were really lacking due to running on a transition layer, it was one of the sore spots of their new graphics card. This update looks like it will help massively.

    I’ve heard this so many times. If they were all true the a770 on the shelf in my office would have created an AI singularity. Alas, on the shelf it stays. Maybe a second generation will actually have most of the bugs hammered out and be performant enough to rival AMD and Nvidia

    Kind of an aside but does anyone know how the Intel Arc cards are on Linux?

    I’d imagine that a lot of the driver problems aren’t really as significant since you can use things like mesa and dxvk, but I don’t really know.

      Check phoronix, they tested a couple of times the Intel Arc GPUs which are mostly fine with open source drivers.
