nice to see they are not giving up on older games.

I really thought heavily about putting an ARC GPU in my back up PC, but just bring myself to do it yet. It is nice to see them continue to improve on the drivers though and hopefully that trend continues.

Some nice gains. Being a new design/hardware I expect to see more optimizations coming in newer drivers and newer silicon as they iterate to new generations.

Not ready to replace my 6900xt with an Arc as yet, were I building a 'Nephew/Niece' system I might use one.

Arc GPUs on the way, can't wait to test this.
