Intel Teases Arc Desktop Graphics Card

[R-T-B]

and nothing like DLSS or FSR;

Hasn't the rumormill been grinding nonstop about XeSS or whatever?

AMD already does the minimum required effort, I don't want an even lazier attempt at it. Only ends with the consumer suffering of bad support and broken promises.

With all due respect, you've never gamed on an Intel driver IGP for long if you think AMD is bad...

And no, not talking about performance...

It's almost unusable, I had to endure with only an HD 5500 for over a year. But at least Youtube worked...

Yeah the performance is what it is (awful), but I was more refering to the games that outright don't run or have severe unfixable graphics glitches on intel drivers. And there are (or were at least) plenty.

I remember trying to run Silent Hunter 3 on an IGP from a 6600k. Man, it never worked right, geometry errors everywhere... and the horsepower should've been there.

Does the 12th gen IGP still suck balls? never even tried mine.

Probably, but don't honestly know. I think I remember reading they reused the 6600k IGP an absurd amount of times, so it might even BE that.

Yes.
OpenGL support is nonexistent, like AMD, but at least it doesn't crash the whole system.
Vulkan is "fine", as broken and slow as AMD's, plus the small size of the IGP.
DirectX is also severely lacking, like R-T-B says. And Intel promises day 1 support that never comes.

We basically have a monopoly of drivers right now, and it's only caused by lack of care from 2 of the 3 options we have. Money goes to the 12900KS and 5800X3D...

The worst part is that Intel's hardware, some compute decisions aside, is GREAT. They only suck because of bad driver support.
