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 I already tried to search for some benchmarks of Intel Arc on linux but they seem to be outdated.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? :)

You may as well. Proton on Steam is really effective and with GE I haven't had a game be unplayable for a while. I don't really care for modern loot box gambling simulator paid public alpha type games though, so YMMV.

So, because Foza Horizon 5 was one of the first games to come out for the Steam Deck I bought it for my PC thinking it would run well. Turns out it won't run with the current Linux Nvidia drivers and I had to get a refund.

Laaaaaame. At least you managed to get a refund!

I take it you're aware of protondb and tried the suggestions there? There's a few people reporting recently that it works fine for them. Maybe recent updates have fixed issues
