Yep. Intel doesn't do so well software-wise and never has.Ive been using Arc for 1 month now and the drivers are abysmally bad and updates are not nearly coming at a quick enough pace. Software is the only thing that will save the GPU division and it looks grim.
There's no doubt.Now you understand why Dr. Lisa Su fired him, he is pathetic.
Yep. The worst that I'd ever seen.Hi,
Intel and software/ firmware has always been pretty bad
He doesn't have much choice, eh?But Raja well when with asus fried lots of haswell-e and broardwell-e chips and boards and just said it was because of weak chips on ROG forum
Can his ego handle it ?
They've been caught doing that before.I suspect nvidia is cheating on the drivers level, providing lower image quality for higher framerates.
He has defenders? Well, if people will defend Jensen Huang, I guess it's not too much of a stretch.Where are all the defenders of Raja, saying he is awesome?
Well, there's always Matrox!Where is he gonna go now, I can't imagine the offers are filling his inbox. lol

He'll go down in history as the chip engineer with the most creative and innovative designs that didn't work.Ah yes, Raja Koduri! He continues his tradition of overblown claims followed by abysmal failures.
His work on Vega got him kicked from ATi and now his work on ARC has him demoted by Intel. The fact that Intel is keeping him shows how desperate they are.

Yup. It's kinda hard to feel sorry for him because you know that despite all of his failures, he's still making major bank. I wish that someone would pay me that well to fail at everything!He'll go down in history as the chip engineer with the most creative and innovative designs that didn't work.

To me, whatever job pays the most is the crown of the corporate ladder. It's probably completely dependent on which company we're talking about.Curious. I dipped my toes into management for a few years and went back for engineering because I hated it. Not sure I’d call it a “demotion” they are two different ladders at most big boy tech companies.
“Management “ isn’t the crown of the corporate ladder lol

This should have been known from start they wouldnt be competing on performance probably for at least 2 generations of products.You have to look at reality, Intel couldn't compete with 2 years old GPUs (the 770 is similar to the 3070 in size), Intel came late to the party and knows that they won't be able to compete for several generations, sales will be abysmal unless sold at loss (as it's probably the case with the 770).
iGPUs do count, they out to HDMI DP DVI...etc, decode video and compatible with all DX versions hence play games. You could argue it's difficult to scale them but it seems Intel's new GPU division didn't use their expertise, performance could be excused but not the lack of compatibility with earlier DX versions and all the issues they have now are not.

The fact that the A770 didn't compete at the top end didn't surprise me. What I found lacking is its availability (which is practically non-existent still, months after release), its price, the terrible driver support, the high idle power consumption, and the inconsistent performance across different games. It does quite okay in some (especially with RT on), but completely tanks in others.You have to look at reality, Intel couldn't compete with 2 years old GPUs (the 770 is similar to the 3070 in size), Intel came late to the party and knows that they won't be able to compete for several generations, sales will be abysmal unless sold at loss (as it's probably the case with the 770).

To be honest, I was more than ready to buy one. I couldn't care less that it performs at 2070-2080 level maximum, but the above things broke the deal for me.

I disagree. Just because a game is old, it doesn't mean I like it any less. Not having to mess with retro PCs just to play them is a must for me.Support of too old DX is stupid. Who wishes to play so old games must use his old PC if it is alive for that task. Instead of disposing of it as polluting e-waste.

One of the best things about PC gaming is the ability to play old and new games, with old games getting a boost in performance with new hardware.
Personally, lots of the new games are rubbish, we have 16 cores desktop CPUs yet we still don't have a game that comes close to Supreme Commander.
As for e-waste, I have a 10+ years old laptop that still perfect for word processing, Excel, web browsing...etc (a 120gb SSD can bring everything back to life), instead of throwing your old stuff sell or give it away.

Besides, who's not cheating one way or another? AMD still has their "AMD Optimized" Tessellation option which I think limits the number of tessellated edges to a certain number, yet no one complains about it.Otherwise people mentioning Nvidia is cheating on image quality..don't know what to tell you, I mean it's not like we had tools to measure image quality and back up those kind of claims...
