• Warhammer 40,000: Darktide (DX12) may experience application crash during character selection.

Since a week after launch. It's literally unplayable on Arc with how consistently it crashes. Even on the older drivers, which worked fine, it crashes. I appreciate Intel acknowledging the issue but I'm almost positive this is a problem that Fatshark introduced and needs to solve.

Guess I'll only be able to play Black Ops Cold War when I finally pull the trigger on a 4080

Has anyone here used one of these new Arc GPU's as their main gaming card? I just picked up a new Surface Laptop 5 and I'm pretty impressed with the Intel Iris Xe and how well it performs.

EDIT: I wrote this earlier and just notice I didn't post it. lol I need more coffee!

You can also check ARC subforums here for some more impressions or join Intel Insiders Community discord if you want to see even more (way more!). Plus you can request support over there and chat to some of the Intel team directly, they pop up occasionally.

My wifes laptop has the IRIS Xe Max GPU and she games on it lightly and it works well. I am too curious enough that I want to try one out.

i been using the A770 instead of my 6900xt just for quality of life testing for about a month im really impressed with the performance for 3rd party gpu that came on the market from scratch at a decent price and finally if they keep fixing bugs with drivers at a steady pace id fully recommend this card plus the discord bug reporting is awesome, competition means lower prices lol

@Solaris17 I'd love to know what improvements you see on your end

You know what I really should. I will put my X299 machine back together and see if I can get some proper test time in. Thought I only have my portable 1080p display I will need to figure that out.

Looks like Intel are giving this thing more attention than gamers are.
