I am crossposting this from Reddit to hopefully get some insight. I just upgraded my PC and I'm running into an odd issue. I bought a PC with an AsRock B450M-HDV R4.0 board with a Ryzen 3 2200G. I upgraded the CPU to a Ryzen 9 5900X and installed an ARC A750. I purchased a Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 to cool the CPU. I updated the BIOS to version 4.90 to make sure my CPU was compatible and I was able to enable Resizable Bar. I ran into issues last night where the PC would shut down almost immediately after getting into Windows. I had a Thermaltake 500W so I figured that was where the problem lied. I picked up an EVGA 750W PSU and the system is stable while web browsing and while discord is running. I attempted to boot up CS2 to see a comparison in frame rates and quality. As it was getting started the PC shut down again. Update: Black screened when downloading update for Phasmaphobia, then black screened when launching browser. It seems to not get as far as before. CPU and GPU temps are normal. CPU ~54 GPU ~64 Update: ran sfc scannow and it reported it had fixed errors. I checked the windows event log and there were a lot of errors, but nothing directly pointing to anything. Any suggestions?

Hi, I was able to play on my Rift S with my PC before I upgraded to my Arc A750, when I was using a GTX 1060 3GB. It's not the best GPU in the world, and doesn't have enough VRAM for No Man's Sky, but it at least works with most other games I've played. I am aware that Arc drivers do not currently support VR, at least not on headsets like the Rift S. Additionally, I am aware that the general advice is to completely uninstall your existing graphics drivers before installing a new card from a different maker (i.e. uninstall NVIDIA drivers before installing an Arc card), which I have done. With this in mind, however, do you guys know if it's *possible* to install my GTX 1060 into the motherboard as a secondary card, and use the 1060 exclusively for VR but use the A750 for everything else? And if it is possible, would you recommend for or against doing that? My other option would be to dust off my old gaming laptop, buy a new DisplayPort dongle, and try to use that for VR. However, the CPU on that guy isn't the best and I can't run games like Half Life Alyx because of the CPU bottleneck. Which of these options would be best? Thanks!

This is my very first build and I'm on a very tight budget. I want to build a Gen 4 decent build which would serve me well for the next few years as I won't upgrade the rig any time soon. Purposes : Productivity and Gaming CPU: R5 5600 MoBo: B550M GPU: RX6600 / Arc A 750 RAM: (2X8)=16 GB 3200MHz. SSD: 512GB M.2 NVMe gen 4. PSU: 550W Antec 80+ bronze rated. Now as you can see from the configuration mentioned above is pretty amateur and so am I in building PC. Now considering all of that, which GPU would be better for me?

I'm currently running a p2000 in my server. I have around 5-10 streams going during peak times and it seems to buffer or not want to go sometimes. Here is a link of my build currently and I was thinking about swapping the p2000 out for another card like an Intel arc for Av1. Before anyone ask I have plexpass using 16 cores.

Guys I am planning to build a pc for around the price of 600usd I am planning to use intel i5-12400f But in GPU section I'm bit confused whether to use intel arc a750 8gb or rx 6600 8gb The use cases of the pc is for gaming, coding (python, javascript,) using for data related fields, using llm model, sdxl. So please help me select the GPU both are at the same price in my country

Hello. I had bought my PC parts in May. Bu due to the low budget, I postponed the GPU purchasing and have been using the system without a GPU card. In the meantime my opinions got changed and I went from the thinking of RTX 4070 ti to Intel Arc 770. I know these are completely two different GPUs. But as the time passed, I had a chance to see what my needs exactly. I would not want to buy more than what I need. So, here is my PC parts: Asus TUF GAMING Z690-PLUS Wi-Fi D4 Intel LGA1700 DDR4 ATX Corsair 32 GB(2x16) Vengeance LPX 3600mhz CL18 DDR4 Ram Intel i5-13600K 14 Core 3.5 GHz CPU Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black, Dual Tower CPU cooler 140 mm Samsung 980 PRO 1 TB NVME SSD FSP Hydro G PRO ATX 3.0 PCIe 5.0 1000W 80+ Gold Full Modular NZXT H5 Flow CC-H51FB-01 ATX Case I am also planning to buy a 1440p 165 hz monitor along with the purchase of GPU. I generally do video editing and rendering. Also newbie for Blender and rendering. Most of the time I use Photoshop and Illustrator. In my game side, I'd like to play Valorant, FIFA, NFS, GTA V like games. Not a huge fan of AAA games but I think I can give a shot in the future. What do you think about my specs and plan to buy an A770? Could 1440p & 165 hz monitor be a good choice with A770? I would be happy if you share your thoughts. Thank you!

I've decided to experiment with Intel Arc for dedicated recording! I bought a Ryzen 9 7900x with terrible onboard encoder with the intent of buying an Arc A380 for dedicated recording. My main GPU is an RTX 2080 Ti. I just installed my A380 and I'm surprised that the only option in OBS that uses it is Quicksync H.264 How can I use Quicksync AV1? Or at least HEVC?

Happen to notice some deals on Intel 12th generation and Intel Arc that are quite interesting. 12600k for $185- Intel Core i5-12600K - Core i5 12th Gen Alder Lake 10-Core (6P+4E) 3.7 GHz LGA 1700 125W Intel UHD Graphics 770 Desktop Processor - BX8071512600K - Newegg.com Intel Arc A380 for $100- ASRock Challenger Arc A380 Video Card A380 CLI 6G OC - Newegg.com Intel Arc A770 16GB for $300- ASRock Phantom Gaming Arc A770 Video Card A770 PG 16GO - Newegg.com Intel Arc having an interesting pricing setup currently, being $100, $200, $300 for the A380, A750, A770 respectively. I currently have the A380 I linked which I've done testing on, surprisingly capable GPU for its cost. In my opinion, a very capable spare GPU. 12600k for $185 puts it very close to the 12400f's $150 price point, which in my opinion is a solid value, given its cheaper than the 12600kf even right now. Thoughts?

I woild like to upgrade to A770 16GB (found used for 300€). My concerne, will it work fine with W10 ltsc (2022 release)? If someone had an opportunity to test.

As i stated at this topics title i am thinking to buy Intel's "Arc A770 16GB GDDR6 Limited Edition" as my new graphics card. From the first time i saw this card i don't know what happened in me but i fell in love with this card but loving something and using something are two different things. Is there anyone here that has anything to say about this GPU before i do the big step? (Yes for me this is not a big but HUGE step.) I will be glad to hear from people that has this card about what problems and the surprises they encounter while using it. I need your help with information. Thanks in advance everyone that will spare some of their time to answer this question of mine.

Is it worth buying now or are the drivers still a dumpster fire?

I am building a new pc and I am fairly new to PC building. Should I get the Intel Arc A750 limited edition or the AMD Radeon RX6650xt from ASRock? Thank you guys for your time.

Hello, This is my first time posting on LTT forums, so I hope I am posting this in the right area. The specs for my pc and home theater are as follows: CPU – AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz (stock settings with PBO enabled in bios) MOBO – Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming GPU – Zotac Geforce GTX 1080 Ti Mini (completely stock and attached by riser cable included with case) TV – LG 75UK6190PUB AV Receiver – Onkyo HT-S5800 The issue I am having, is I can find no way to get consistent video or audio from my computer, to the TV and Reiver. Here is what I have done so far: · The issue is not due to any loose cables or bad thermals. I recently swapped out my Red Dragon 5700xt from this pc, and put in the Zotac 1080 Ti. In any other computer I’ve had the 1080 Ti in, it’s had no issues, the 5700xt, has only had this issue in this PC, when connected to my home theater. This leads me to believe the issue lies between the PC and the home theater as all parts work while attached to a monitor and speakers. All drivers, software, and BIOS are up to date. · I have tried three configurations to make this work: o A single HDMI cable from the GPU to the receiver. This allows me to run in 4K 60Hz to my tv with Atmos For Home Theater enabled, or allowing the receiver to decode audio. I find it very surprising that even with cheap or old HDMI cables, I am able to get 4K 60Hz in this manner. The issue this config has, is frequent video and audio drop outs, often resulting in having to restart equipment to get video and audio back. This happens regardless of sitting idle, watching videos, or playing games. o HDMI from GPU to TV, with a single HDMI to receiver, or HDMI and SPDIF to receiver. When I try to do this, I am either hoping to run audio and video through HDMI with ARC and CEC, or do video from HDMI and audio through PDIF. The problems with ARC, is although both my TV and receiver support ARC and CEC, when I try to do this, the receiver hard freezes immediately and does not allow me to do anything until I unplug it. I read this may be due to CEC incompatibility. I tried turning CEC off on one or the other, and that did not work either. I’ve tried to direct audio from the TV to the Receiver through SPDIF by selecting the TV input on the receiver, but no audio comes out, and I cannot determine why. This even happens when I use the TV apps as an audio source. I am telling the TV to output audio through SPDIF only. o The last method I tried which would only be a temporary fix, is to have the PC Mobo connect to the receiver via Bluetooth and send video to the TV from the GPU via HDMI but any device I connect to that Mobo via Bluetooth disconnects quickly and frequently, if it connects at all. · When I had the 5700xt in this PC, I only had very frequent audio drop outs while connect to the receiver via an HDMI 2.1 cable. I don’t have an HDMI 2.1 cable long enough to reach the receiver where it is now, but even with a cheap HDMI cable, the 5700xt only drops out audio, not video. · When I swapped out the GPUs I did a fresh install of Windows, and these issues existed on both OS installs. · I could put the 5700xt back in that PC, but I would really rather not, as it is too big for my case (Phanteks Shift Evolv) and does not allow for proper air flow and requires two fans be taken out. This would still mean I have audio dropouts anyway. · I have tried using PCIE 3.0, 4.0, and Auto in BIOS, and that seems to have no affect at all. When attached to the receiver via HDMI directly, I have only tried 4K resolution, but with HDR on and off, and have tried several audio settings. · So I either need this to work via GPU>TV>Receiver with audio being transported to the receiver, or GPU>Receiver via HDMI. · On my other PCs, I always output audio from the Mobo, via SPDIF, and just do video over HDMI, and would like to do that for this, but the Mobo does not have SPDIF. Would a USB audio interface or sound card be a good idea? I worry that the receiver will still have problems if I try that. · Is my receiver possibly defective? It has worked with everything else I have it do, but this issue has existed whenever I’ve tried to use this pc with it. Unfortunately, I do not have another receiver to try, and cannot currently afford one that is compatible with my setup. I see the following potential issues: 1. ARC and CEC between the TV and the receiver is incompatible. 2. I don’t know how to properly have the receiver play sound from SPDIF 3. Something is causing audio and video dropouts over HDMI to the receiver. 4. The receiver needs to be replaced Sorry for the long description, but I have tried so many things, and am hoping someone out there might have a solution for me. Why couldn’t something I don’t care about break, like the AM radio on the receiver? LOL Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. Thank you, Aaron

Hi, this is my first post so bear with me. I recently got a new receiver the Denon AVRX2600H. It worked great. Turned on when i put the TV on and turned off when the TV was off. Now when i put the TV on the receiver goes on but when i want to raise the volume with my tv remote it raises the volume of the TV instead of the Denon like it always did. And when i turn the TV off it only turns the TV off instead of both the TV and receiver. So i believe the TV or receiver loses connection with each other..So when i'm done watching digital tv for example, i have to press 3 buttons to turn everthing off. 1 TV ,1 receiver and 1 for decoder for digital TV. I have reset the receiver completely and turned OFF all settings for ARC and then everything back ON. And just now i turned my TV off and 20 seconds later the receiver turned off on its own... mind boggling. And when i turn the TV on and receiver is already on it turns the receiver off.. i'm lost with options. Any idea? New HDMI cable? Sent receiver back for repairs? Thank in advance

So I have a Samsung QN65Q6FNA TV and a Bose soundbar 500. They were working fine until one day audio output switch to the tv speakers. The option for HDMI output disappeared from the audio options. I checked and the optical out works with the soundbar but I can not control the volume with my Roku or tv remotes when it is connected with the optical cable. Any suggestions?

I was going through Intel's PC challenge discord and the rewards for the challenge are their ARC GPUs along with merch and Xbox game pass. With those are listed their ARV (approximate retail value). So if we subtract the mech and membership, we know that the "premium" arc GPU will be $800 USD (900 ARV - 6 months Xbox game pass ($40) - arc merch (~$60)) and the "performance" arc GPU will be $620 (700 ARV - 3 months Xbox game pass ($30) - arc merch (~$60)) This can all be found in #xe-hpg-scavenger-hunt in the discord below https://discord.gg/PeQJxnx2 Note: This was posted on November 9th, 2021, the prices may have changed.

So my parents got a new Sony x85J tv at my recommendation. When my dad set up the old TV he didn't know about ARC or maybe the TV didn't support it. I believe arc should allow sound from the smart TV to go to the surround sound. There are HDMI cables running through the wall that we are set on using. I did get a brief look at a cable and it was labeled 1080p too bad. But I believe it might support arc. I don't know how to confirm. On the TV I set it to auto on E-arc. (there was no on option). And I also changed the setting from TV speakers to stereo. My dad was the one who went in to the back of the receiver and up a ladder to the TV (it is above the fireplace. That's not where I put it). He says there is a cable going from hdmi out 1 on the receiver to hdmi 3 on the TV. The "out" is confusing but that is what it said on the manual. Then I started mess with the reciver. Some people with receivers also around the same time period had to update there firmware (to get arc). Do do that I have seen two sets of instruction. I tried them both. One said to have the receiver in standby. Which I am interrupting as turned off by the power button. Then it says to hold the straight button on the physical receiver. Then it says to push the power button. Then it says to let go of the power button while continuing to hold the straight button. Then it should say advanced set up or have some kind of ohm thing. When it appears you let go of the straight button. I did all of that. Nothing appeared on the screen. I also heard that pushes the straight button repeatedly might work. I spammed the button and pushed it slowly. Nothing worked. Any tips to get to this menu. I know nothing about receivers I have only used a sound bar personally. tldr: how do I verify an hdmi cable going through the wall supports arc. Also I tried hard to follow instructions to update the firmware on the Yamaha receiver. I could not get into advanced setup.

Summary Developers looking at Intel Arc Linux drivers appear to have found the ARC drivers can only be updated using a special chip found only on Intel CPU's Quotes My thoughts Never heard of this before, sounds like a backhanded deal if it is true. Intel locking down their GPUs make the ARC price seem disingenuous. Sources https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/11/intel-arc-gpu-firmware-updates-appear-to-require-an-intel-cpu-at-least-for-now/

was watching the wan show INTEL GPU topic when this came into my head basically a Kickstarter for intel they offer the first GPU launch through their own website it is made very clear that these are for the enthusiasts only but out of all pc gamers but here is how they sell it ON THE BACKPLATE READS and this is just one example they could do anything if they really want the community's help to get into this market to the owner of this card this guarantees a new card give X ( where X is ten 20/ 50/ 100) years from now and can be passed down through the years to any family member so it becomes a collectiors item instantly the benefit of this intel gets free funding from the public to get into the GPU market they could sell these for 500 or 1000 each the customer get the above backplate collector item card so they are buying a collectors item they can sell or keep imagine that customers grandson taking this back to intel when they are 100 years old i am pretty sure intel would roll out the red carpet for those future family member who launch the insanely successful GPU division that started 2022 and only took 50 years to be market leader also this entire community should have its own dedicated team/community space fourms, as due to it being an alpha Intel will give full tech support to any customer for the first 3 years. if you want to hand the card back at any time you can for a normal refund the community would love it intel shareholders would be less against the idea, as they don't care what intel pay out 100 years from now they should offer pre-orders now with no guarantee of release down payment of X which is also fully refundable if not ever actually released intel if this works i would like paid ... your welcome

We almost didn’t attend SIGGRAPH, but we had to go when Intel revealed Arc Pro GPUs. Is it everything graphics professionals hoped it would be, and if not, what did Nvidia announce?

Summary In what could either be interpreted as confidence or desperation for their, uhh, controversial thus far Arc GPU lineup, Intel is forging ahead with the official announcement of a number of Pro-oriented SKUs. The announcement includes the mobile A30M, single-slot A40, and dual-slot A50. Features include ray-tracing and AI acceleration. However, given that the current top model is limited to 6GB of ram, a 4.0 x 8 PCIe interface, and a 75w peak TDP, one should probably temper their performance expectations. No specific dates have been given for general availability beyond "later this year". Quotes My thoughts Well, at the very least, it seems like they haven't decided to can the whole thing just yet. Hopefully somebody finds enough of a use for these things that Intel continues the product line.

I saw a post on reddit saying this: "DXVK the DirectX 9-11 to Vulkan translation layer is significantly more mature than the translation layer that Intel is using to translate DirectX to DirectX 12 and should provide better performance on Alchemist." Has anyone who reviews GPUs tried this yet? Maybe Linus can test it. If you have an arc card and are willing to run some benchmarks here's how you can get DXVK: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/latest Copy the correct DXVK version of the DirectX DLLs (x86 or x64 depending on if the game is 32 or 64 bit) into your games’ folders to use it.

Hey all, just curious about if anyone’s seen benchmarks or reviews on Intels ARC A380 for content creation anywhere; I’m not much of a gamer but would love to find a cheaper option for my new “workstation” desktop. I’ve heard, despite being the entry level card, that for video editing and graphical applications (IE Affinity Designer and Photo) this things really good… but I’ve yet to find any substance behind those claims… thx
