I’m considering building a new machine soon and was looking at the Intel Arc GPUs as a possibility. Anyone have experience using them in their system? I’m on Arch btw

      Thanks for this. I’m on 1440p so hopefully the performance will be a bit better. The A770 seems like it has great price to performance though, making it one of the top spots on my list.

      Glad to hear that support is solid on Arch

      I wasn’t able to enable VRR on my monitor (with freesync). I’m using KDE Wayland on Debian Testing, just wondering if you knew a workaround or something?

          I’m running 6.5.10, also with an A770. I could maybe try/compile 6.6 later, but 6.5 seems new enough I thought.

              Yeah no change with 6.6, I guess I’ll probably open an issue somewhere when I have the time to figure out what’s broken.

                    Okay so for whatever reason, turning Freesync on and off a bunch of times from the OSD and then replugging works until the next reboot, so I’ve dumped the working EDID and I’m trying to figure out how to load it at boot (but I’m not having much luck).

                    For reference, the monitor is a Samsung LC24RG50.

                    Edit: Got the EDID loaded, KDE says it’s supported, but VRRTest doesn’t really seem to do anything.

                    Edit 2: Other games work fine.

      Yeah, I’ve noticed occasional regressions in video decode performance between kernel releases but they tend to fix them in the next release.

      Otherwise smoother sailing than Nvidia for sure.
