Intel's Arc graphics cards have quietly become excellent (www.digitaltrends.com)

"Intel’s Arc A770 and A750 were decent at launch, but over the past few months, they’ve started to look like some of the best graphics cards you can buy if you’re on a budget. Disappointing generational improvements from AMD and Nvidia, combined with high prices, have made it hard to find a decent GPU around $200 to $300 — and Intel’s GPUs have silently filled that gap.

They don’t deliver flagship performance, and in some cases, they’re just straight-up worse than the competition at the same price. But Intel has clearly been improving the Arc A770 and A750, and although small driver improvements don’t always make a splash, they’re starting to add up."

My main concern is if they will keep up the support, I don't want to go buy something that looses driver support in a year or two. I feel like I have seen too much of that from various companies, though i can't think of too many examples from intel other than Optane.

I don't know about windows, but on linux it's only NVIDIA gpu that can loose driver support.
