Current status of Intel Arc on Linux (self.linux_gaming)

Hey everyone,

Planning on buying a new gpu to use it on Linux since I'm tired of using Nvidia. I already tried to search for some benchmarks of Intel Arc on linux but they seem to be outdated.

Do you think it is worth to get a intel arc a770 or just go with AMD for mainly 1080p gaming? Or are the drivers for intel still too new and should wait for the next gen? :)

I'd recommend checking out the phoronix Intel forum. We could really use more competition in this space.

Looks like the drivers still need more development for the GPU be worth the money (at least for the a770) :(

This is good advice.

I haven't been following progress on Xe/Arc linux drivers, but my impression from a few months ago was that they were still a bit rough for gaming. Maybe things are improving? Intel already has an open-source driver, so they seem well positioned to (eventually) compete in this space.

If build quality matters to you, OP, this Gamers Nexus teardown might be worth a watch:
