       Have you ever purchased an Intel discrete GPU? (Like Arc A or B series)?#intel #gpu #arc #discrete #linuxgaming #gaming #pcgaming

       @boilingsteam Currently using an Arc A750. Actually very satisfied with it for the price I paid($200).Currently looking to upgrade but the GPU market is so awful that nothing really strikes me as worthwhile. The Arc B580 looks fine but it's also not that much of an upgrade over what I have already so it doesn't feel like it'd be worth it even at its current price($250).

       @dyrge do you use it for gaming or something else?

       @boilingsteam Almost entirely gaming and video acceleration for game recording.

       @dyrge interesting, what does it offer for game recording as native encoding? AV1?

       @boilingsteam Yes, full AVC/HEVC/AV1 hardare endode and decode.Which I think the newer B-series Battlemage cards lack at the moment because they use the newer and less mature Xe Intel driver. That information might be out of date though so don't quote me on that.I found a surprisingly good article on the subject that I reference occasionally:https://www.faceofit.com/intel-arc-iris-xe-linux-driver-compatibility-guide/#video

       @dyrge oh thats a good resource, the link you provided. thanks. For the AV1 hardware encode, it works for what resolution and framerates?

       @boilingsteam You know, that's a good question. I haven't really looked into it.All I can say with certainty is 2560x1440@60 as that's the highest I've attempted so far.

       @dyrge thats already a pretty good resolution. No stuttering, works well? How is the bitrate like? In case you have any video link to share, please do, would like to see how good it looks.

       @boilingsteam The A770 works great with Linux with the games I play, to me it was worth it
