Finally? I installed SteamOS on my Arc PC when Steam Machine launched and it was fine.
Various Steam and Linux gaming software were only officially running on AMD.
I know ChimeraOS, bazzite HTPC and SteamOS/HoloISO were not well supported or not supported at all on any other GPU a year ago.
I am out of the loop. Why should I consider an Intel Arc over Nvidia or AMD? Is it just a price thing?
It’s neat to have more than one option. With Nvidia of course not being one.
Why wouldn’t Nvidia be one? Other Linux users keep saying it’s no good but they work perfectly fine for me.
Nvidia fans kept insisting that “Nvidia works perfectly for me” even when Wayland was entirely unsupported and using highly insecure X11 was really not a bad thing at all.
More recently game mode didn’t work on Nvidia because their drivers again lacked features.
Just because you don’t use a feature not supported by your drivers, doesn’t mean that it’s not true. By the very nature how Nvidia develop their drivers, they will lag behind Mesa “standards”.
Ah so it’s just irrational past grudges. Glad we could clear that up.
Nvidia might not exist in a couple years, because of that financial collapse they’re about to cause
And ruining the cost of everything including ram, putting small hardware producers of everything from computer cases to their own cards out of business, etc. Nobody with a brain would deal with those fucking losers now, and nobody with a heart would tolerate them in a build.
If you think Nvidia will stop existing but AMD or Intel of all companies survive you live under a rock on the dark side of the moon. Same goes for rising costs of everything because of AI. Nvidia, AMD and Intel are all the same here. It makes no sense so many people differentiate here. Like, do you guys not pay any attention at all? If anything Intel is much worse than the other two because it directly answers to the orange’s fascist regime. They’re the last company I will trust my money with.
For a long time, Intel was the only GPU manufacturer that worked just as well on Linux as it did on Windows. The problem was that they only made integrated graphics, so it was useless for gaming.
Arc was their first attempt at a discrete PCIe GPU. The Linux community had the expectation that Linux would be a first-class citizen. IIRC it missed the bar, but it wasn’t horrible.
By the time this all happened, AMD was hitting performance parity between Windows and Linux. You’ll notice in the steam hardware survey that AMD is the undisputable king of Linux.
If Arc is now working well on SteamOS, it’s probably worth re-evaluating.
Intel Arc has got lost of improvements but I’m not giving a click to ETA Prime
Tell me why? Any drama I haven’t heard?
Exactly. Tell us fuckin why. I’m so sick of people making comments like this and just leaving people hanging because they expect everyone to know every thing they do.
Vague posting intensifies
Cool, great. …but why use ai to create the thumbnail? ;-;
Looks more like a classic thumbnail template with a background, titles and some GPU pngs. Only the left GPU looks AI-ish to me and it might just be 3D render.
I don’t have time to watch this video right now, but as someone who’s uses an Intel Arc A770 for two years, there are certain aspects which are no end of trouble.
Namely anything that has to do with raytracing, and especially Unreal Engine 5 for some reason.
Raytracing has never been worth the performance penalty imo.
It creates beautiful videos in satisfactory and other slow games. If AI never happened i bet cards would have been cheap enough for most games to afford ray tracing by default but alas
Regardless of cost, not even the mightiest gpu can play a 1440p game with path tracing for example at high refresh rates, without dlss. So no, the cost isn’t the only issue.
This is a minor cosmetic feature used to entice fools to depart with their money.

Because Sonalder’s account is onlemmy.mlThis post doesn’t show up on our 🛜 This is the exact Bias in code I was talking about.I don’t have to like campists in order to interact with things we do intersect with.
This is perfect time for those that want (and have the money) to build a small compact steam machine. Intel has a low profile 16 GB card.
I’m debating one for my Minisforum MS-01 desktop. I currently have an eGPU with a used AMD 6700 XT (I think) that I got from a coworker a while ago. Mainly because eGPU over USB4 is weird (eGPU is weird in general on Linux).
So I actually ordered a MS-02 desktop bare bones I’m slotting in with a 4060 LP I have laying around. You’re right, eGPU is weird on Linux all over. It works, just always an odd quirk with it.
