Sparkle Intros Arc A310 OmniView Graphics Card with 4x HDMI and 50 W Board Power
Sparkle introduced an interesting new graphics card meant for those with four high-resolution displays tied to a workstation, or a digital-signage setup. The new Arc A310 OmniView is based on an underclocked version of the Intel Arc A310 "Alchemist," with the idea being to cap the card at 50 W typical power. The card comes with a 1.00 GHz GPU clock and 15.5 Gbps memory speed, compared to the reference A310, which ticks at 1.75 GHz, but at 75 W typical board power. The card comes with 6 Xe cores, and a 64-bit wide memory interface, pulling 4 GB of GDDR6 memory. The A310 OmniView features a single-slot, full-height design, with no additional power connectors. It uses a simple fan-heatsink to keep cool. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the card is its display I/O, featuring four HDMI 2.0b ports, each of which can drive a 4K display at 60 Hz. The card is 14.5 cm long, and 10.5 cm tall. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Also 4K 144Hz displays are quite common nowadays....

No Fan control, the default ramp is retarded. No temp sensors.
Wonky drivers, missing firmware, uncertainty what's what in latest kernel, if you are on LTS then again pain, backport or out of tree driver, all the good stuff.
There will be a major screw up regarding transcoding and intel drivers. Intel quick sync was painless, but they will screw it, well it is limited to 8bits, so it will die either way.
So regarding jellyfin, it works, but is waay too noisy. Linux driver state is pretty wonky to be honest.
Few cents, remember to have ASPM on, for transcoding rebar is not needed really. ASPM causes problems for other devices, like dreaded Intel NICs so keep in mind that.
Would be cute if they redid the ECO with four mini-DP outputs. Would be a lifesaver for those half-height office boxes.
