As an overpriced display output sure.
>no nvidia logo
No.
Passable for 1080p, DX12 games. Garbage for everything else. The only card that makes sense atm is the RTX 3080. If you can't get ahold of one just wait.
Yes, 16GB VRAM for $300 is great value. Raytracing performance is a bit shit, the only good alternative is NVIDIA which is way more costly for 16GB VRAM options.
Don't listen to this retard either. I play all my games at 1440p without issues.
Yes, but it has no reason to exist when the 6700 XT is cheaper and faster. The extra 4 GB of VRAM won't help you.
They lack features. They betted on the more vram instead. The company needs someone who can do some actual research. No dx9/10/11 support kills it for me.
>They lack features.
There's about as much features as AMD
>They betted on the more vram instead
They didn't, the 16gb version is a limited edition A770 and nobody's buying that. A750 8GB is the best deal
> No dx9/10/11 support kills it for me
They're supported, the new driver uses DXVK for those now
>A770 and nobody's buying that
i bought it
You overpaid
>There's about as much features as AMD
You are delusional. Or, more likely, an Nvidiot fantard shilling Arc secure in the knowledge you'll never have to use one, hoping that you can sucker other people into buying it so you can get a cheaper GeForce card later. The Arc software package is threadbare. It's not even close to comparable to AMD's in terms of functionality at this time. Of course, you've never used an AMD card either (in before "I had one in 2009 so I'm entitled to an opinion!!!"), so you wouldn't know.
>the new driver uses DXVK for those now
It uses DXVK for select, approved titles. Not everything. Pre-DX12 performance is generally still a complete shit show.
>Y-Y-You're just an AMD fanboy c-coping!
Eat shit, retard. I put my money where my mouth is with Arc, unlike Jensen assrimmers such as yourself shilling it for your own gain. That's why I know that in a lot of games I've tried it outright performs worse than the GTX 1070 it replaced. I was playing the original Watch Dogs yesterday and couldn't even hold 60fps at 1440p without MSAA. Something my 1070 did just fine. It's only about 10% faster than the 1070 in Cyberpunk 2077 too, which is another terrible game for Arc. In a better case scenario like Hogwarts Legacy, it can be 50% faster or more.
In general it's an extremely mixed bag, performance is all over the place and the software needs a fuckton of work. Anyone wholeheartedly recommending it to the average user is a shill or Nvidiot acting in bad faith. I bought one because I don't mind tinkering.

Wew that's quite the profile you constructed for me, complete with canned comebacks to responses i wouldn't write. I haven't used an Nvidia card in any of my PC's since 2000, can you say that for yourself?
AMD is just good at gaming and... that's it.
That said yeah performance is not ok yet but I hope they get better because I have more trust in Intel than Amd
its limited. its say so right there on the side
Maybe in a few years
yes it's an excellent card, but I have to use ubuntu 22.04 to use some features
A good start, hopefully they give shitvidia a run for their money. Maybe shitvidia will finally start putting more than 8gb of vram in their cards and charge a reasonable price.
it's profoundly mediocre
intlel could have filled a couple niches that ayymd and novideo refuse to service (SR-IOV for example), but no, they segmented their shit in the exact same way as their competitors. the best they can say is "it's sometimes as good as a 3060, but might not be able to run the software you want"
it's simply not very compelling when nvidia and amd exist
On Linux it's fantastic and will only continue to improve as the necessary kernel changes are merged to activate the few missing features.
On Windows, it's a bit of a headache for older games, but anything DX12 or Vulkan is great. You can work around the poor DX11 and older performance with DXVK-async and a proper config file.
At the price they've dropped it to it's a great option for primarily Linux users, likely will be a better choice than AMD in a year or less. If you're primarily a Windows user you'll be fine/better off with something in the 30xx series from Nvidia.
>On Linux it's fantastic and will only continue to improve
have they fixed the fucking idle power consumption yet?
looks like they finally sorted that out on windows in their latest driver update
I like it, I use mine to play older games at 4k max settings.
The last few driver updates have fixed most of the issues with dx10/11, dx9 doesn’t stutter anymore but it’s also not as fast as it could be.
I use it mostly to play GTA V, max settings but no AA in 4k. Gets 55-70fps depending on how much grass is visible. Though softest grass does that to any gpu. And that’s all DX11.
Halo MCC everything runs fine and it’s all DX11 as well (I think?). Hardest one to run being halo 2 anniversary which gets 30-45fps with remastered graphics in 4k max settings. Dropping to 1080p it’s a smooth 60, dropping the settings in general in 4k can get close to 60. All the other games like reach and 4 play fine with their native graphics.
It’s getting better, it’s gotten way better than it was. I think if you have some other use case where the features of the card are beneficial to you, and you can lose out on some of the gaming performance versus a 3060 in some titles, it’s a good choice.
It gives you 16gb ram so it should be pretty decent for deep learning.
No.
Please buy it anyways.
Does anyone here use their computer for anything else but fucking video games?
generating coom with stable diffusion, and prompting neofetch seem to be another common uses for computing apparatuses around here
I do
but videogames are a more universal metric. I can say it’s performance of a certain configuration in a game and people can compare that to others who are using the same or similar configurations on different hardware and they can get a rough idea of what’s going on.
I also just don’t know what some performance metrics are like for my non videogame workload.
It does good in autodesk maya? Trimble SketchUp D5 ray tracing rendering is adequate? That doesn’t really mean anything, it works and doesn’t crash or freeze so it’s doing better than my Tesla c2050 did in Maya years ago.
Yes? Gamer or not, you're paying to beta test their shit drivers.
i have one, it sucks on linux compared to rdna2, last time i tried at least.
It's a great card for the price, but that price point is so limited this gen that if you have the 1k budget you should choose something else
But if you're looking at 500 or below for a card, pick the arc
I might buy the Arc refresh that will release soon. I don't know if my gentile serf genes are acting up but the card legitimately is interesting.
>Intel
Unironically thinking of getting one just for doing encodes in AV1. I have around 17 TB of video footage and 30% smaller files would be excellent.
AV1 hardware encoding quality is shit. Files are going to be 30% smaller and look 50% worse.
At 250 it would be
gem
It's tempting, but does stable diffusion, llama, and whisper work on it?
