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 I already tried to search for some benchmarks of Intel Arc on linux but they seem to be outdated.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

    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, this Gamers Nexus teardown might be worth a watch:
