Intel ARC GPUs, Xe Architecture for dGPUs [2018-2022]

[PSman1700]

They are 300W cards and AMD had the fan control setup to target 95C. It was the same cooler as on the 7970, which was a ~ 250W card. I had a 290X for awhile and it was a very noisy card, and annoying because the fan changed speed too much. It would even ramp up rendering the WIndows GUI sometimes.

I suggest avoiding blowers unless you need to put a card into an enclosure without much airflow. That's what they are best for. They won't be a quiet solution unless the card is much lower power and the cooler still kept beefy.

R9 290X was a monster for its time though, faster than the PS4 Pro and probably close to One X, but released at the same time as the base versions of those. Even today with Nimez custom drivers (support up till sept 2022) you can play basically anything at reasonable settings, even Infinite.

It's also going to be interesting to see how it does as part of an APU in the future.
Could be pretty strong by the sounds of it where some of the things that hold it back would be reduced.

Am I the only one who watched that video and just thought, "Damn, Raja has lost some weight!"?

I think that was very honest showing that graph which shows where Arc is running behind nVidia, even if they believe they can close the gap with optimisations.

If you've watched the video which its all from, you can see why the initial leaks was talking around 2070 perf.
The graph shows where its heavily throttled.

[DavidGraham]

Reviews are up, the A770 is way slower than the 3060Ti.

 

[arandomguy]

Reviews are coming up.

This is one of those situations that really shows the weakness of comparing via aggregating avg fps results. Performance ranges from RTX 3060 (or worse) to 3060ti (or better) for the A770.

 

[Dampf]

Jesus christ. Did he really not test the most interesting aspects about Arc - RT performance and XeSS?

This guy is such a terrible reviewer. Just incredible.

Well, maybe there are people who only play Fortnite at minimum settings...

Yeah thats weird. Anyhow, its not a terrible GPU for gamers who want to go PC this generation instead of a console where RT doesnt really matter much either.

 

[Bondrewd]

I rate this pos Vega30/10.
My man Raja never miss.

RT performance and XeSS?

I sleep.
No one testing oneAPI usability on those is bad tho.

Skimming over the benchmarks quickly, thats not too bad right? Faster than a 2070S/3060 in CP2077 RT highest settings.

 

[Bondrewd]

What does this mean?

Means Raja made another Vega.
This time it's a bit faster than the previous one (V20) at lower power but alas the die is bigger.

That's just fucking silly at this point.
GP102 haunts him to no end.

RT is bascially 3060 level according to Computerbase.

40+ watts while idling on the windows desktop. By multiple review sites, confirmed by intel. No, thanks.
