How these go Linux? Vroom or doom?
I believe vroom, intel usually has good Linux support even having their own optimized distribution
Edit: it may have trouble with older titles
I love playing older titles...
I just bought an a750 honestly I'm loving it. So far I've only had issues in Skyrim with the shadows, and vermintide 2.
Sick. I got an a770le when they launched. Buggy AF, but not bad performance when it decided to work. It currently lives as a dedicated av1 encoder in a Plex server
If this turns out to be a solid performer, the price could make it the best midrange value since AMD's Polaris (RX 480). Let's hope Intel's build quality has improved since the A770.
I can't wait for these to be EOLed due to the exec shakeup.
Isn't this the same architecture that is also in their iGPUs? That should help keep them motivated to improve drivers even if they lose interest in dGPUs.
Do these cards have good open-source Linux drivers?
Been a while but I played around with the a770 in Arch for a few months. It didn't play nice with proton and even native games were hit and miss. Better support from Intel than nvidia gives, but it's a new platform and Linux development was definitely taking a back seat to the windows drivers which were also a buggy mess.
And basically nobody had the cards so if something didn't work your options were to give up or become a computer graphics programming wizard and fix it all yourself from scratch.
To answer the question: not really, no. The drivers themselves may have been fine, but who knows how any given software will handle a brand new GPU architecture.
As an aside knowing most companies working in embedded technologies usually work in, or have strong aspects in Linux. Why then are Linux drivers so difficult to come by? Lack of customers seems unlikely since they mostly have everything ready, right? Or is it cost cutting to avoid lengthy QA on another platform? That would be easy to sidestep by giving a no-warranty driver version?
Most of the demand is for Windows. So if your choice is to spend resources (money) where demand is, or hope that you can possibly create demand where there isn't any currently.
They keep getting removed from the kernel.
The comments I've read from current-generation Arc owners have given the impression that their Linux drivers are catching up to AMD. Here's the latest info:
It's official, the Intel Arc B580 GPU is launching on December 12, 2044
So excited. Can't wait.
I game at 1440p on a 1080ti. So what this tells me is that I don't need to upgrade. Cool.
What do you play and on what settings? I know the 1080ti was a beast but it must surely be showing its age.
I mostly play BG3 now but I was hard into Destiny 2. As long as I capped my FPS to match my monitor (so 120), I could crank it up to pretty much max. BG3 and Last Epoch I max out (still fps capped). Cyberpunk 2077 I didn't bother with and play it on GeForce Now. Most other games I play are AA or indie and the 1080ti at 1440p handles them easily.
Space Marine II is another that's going on GeForce Now just because I want it on Ultra everything. So literally 95%+ of my library runs maxed at 1440p/120 on a 1080ti.
