2:55 PM - Intel Arc A750 on Linux
I just got a new Intel Arc A750 for my Ubuntu box.? It's an upgrade from a rx570.? The card is much bigger and requires two power connectors vs the old card.? In the process, I had to upgrade ubuntu to 23.04 to use it.? That didn't go well.
As far as the Arc GPU, it's working pretty well.? There was one issue with the upgrade.? Ubuntu's UI was completely unstable until I enabled rebar support in the BIOS.? Then it worked fine.?
Unlike AMD GPUs, the Arc card can still run enemy territory and et:legacy without random crashes and video artifacts on some maps.? AMD can't be bothered to fix their broken drivers for over a year now.? My other GPU is a much newer AMD card and it's still broken.??
The arc card has been able to run cs:go, timberborn, et so far.? I need to test more with it.? Performance isn't mind blowing by any means, but it's stable.? I wasn't expecting that.? Considering the hurdle, Intel has done a good job with this GPU to date.
