Intel Arc News Roundup: New Driver, Legacy Driver Branching Has Begun, Multiframe Generation Technology Could Be on the Horizon for XeSS, and More

I've been trying to track down an Arc B50 on canada, looks promising for some workstation uses. It's nice to see intel still focused on its GPU division when most wrote that division off with nvidias cash injection.
 
I'm so tired of constantly hearing that Intel Arc is dead. At some point, you just have to admit it isn't, yet. I don't know the future for them, but I do want them to succeed, and I'm going to stay positive on the matter. I look forward to any new releases.

You aren’t wrong. But every time I get around to thinking “Hmm maybe it’s time I got the kid a new card and Intel is right in the strike zone” something pops up that makes me think Arc is probably walking the line.

I guess the fact that it still exists with Intel in the state it’s in does speak pretty loudly, but I also guess I just have Google syndrome and expect it to get canceled every time a new press release from Intel pops up.

And you have to admit there have been a lot of those in the past few months that sure seem to be pointing in that trajectory.

I agree entirely with you that I want it to succeed - and probably buying one personally would help that. But with my luck, buying one would also almost guarantee that within a month the division would shutter with no future driver updates.

That sums up my latest experience with EVGA. I bought their 3090ti AIO and they closed their GPU division. I think that move took a lot of us by surprise, so ... moral of the story, "poop happens whether you're forewarned of it or not."

I mean inverse is you might buy your son a collectors item. Maybe get Jensen to sign it as another video card company he murdered.
