    Hey! For the testing in this video, I did not have ReBar turned on. So I did a follow up video looking at how much of a difference this single setting made to the airbus GPU's gaming performance. Go check it out here: th-cam.com/video/4itS-I_Xtlw/w-d-xo.html

      @@raven4k998 , that's not a fair comparison considering Intel used a person from AMD to design the Intel GPU. Along with that, its not fair to compare Intel or AMD to NVIDIA with Ray Tracing because the DXR code is programmed for NVIDIA, requiring very complex drivers to compensate. This will not be the case with gameS developed on a real DirectX 12 Engines like Unreal Engine 5 that are not some ghetto rigged DirectX 11 Engine with the "DirectX12 feature" added, non-natively. The major purpose of DirectX 12 was to eliminate all this "driver" non-sense and simplify the process by natively supporting software and hardware RT within the Engine code itself. NVIDiA will still have to deal with drivers for every game because the code has to travel outside of the Engines workspace to utilize dedicated cores. AMD and Intel have the advantage of allowing the developers to utilize them easily because the allocated cores are within the same silicon. There is also the fact that AMDs shader-cores have become so fast and efficient that software RT like Lumen can be handled without the need for dedicated hardware. The differences between Lumen and dedicated Ray Tracing has recently been proven to be minor and its will only get better. NVIDIA still doesn't hold a candle to AMDs pure shader-core performance.

    I want Intel to keep creating GPUs and increasing support for older games. I might not buy one of their GPUs this generation but I definitely would consider buying their 2nd or 3rd generation if they continue. For a first attempt at a GPU, everyone seems to expect them to be perfect. As a computer engineer myself I just want to say that this is hella impressive that they got the game support and performance that they did for their first attempt! I’m excited to see them continue in this space.

      Yes, but rather than being impressive from engineering standpoint it needs to be actually much better than AMD/Nvidia cards at the same price point in practical day to day use, to get reasonable sells, since it doesn't have any brand recognition. I don't see that coming, so let's hope Intel's plan for 1st gen is to be a sort of beta test, and only 2nd gen and above being a commercial success.

    The fps that you saw on dx9-10 was a result of the card not having drivers for dx9 10 and I think 11 too
    Intel focused on creating dx12 and vulkan Drivers first
    You are still able to play those games because they added a translation layer that translates from dx9,10,11 to dx12
    Translating is also somewhat CPU intensive and can be seen on the graphs
    What I personally would do is use dxvk instead of translating to dx12
    because dxvk seems to be more mature cause of its wide use on Linux

    I actually got to build a system with an A770, and honestly in the stability testing I did before handing it off to the customer, it was surprisingly good in the RT department. Optimization was horrible requiring a ton of tweaking and work arounds, but the results were actually worth it.
    Properly dialed in it was about even with a 3060 maybe a 3060 TI in some titles from a straight FPS standpoint. From an RT standpoint though? It was closer to a 3070 when properly dialed in. For a first gen? That's not bad, but you have to like tinkering if you're going to buy this one in it's current state. It has a lot of the "teething issues" Radeon had early on, but much better architecture, so it looks promising if they can get the optimization side of it handled.

    I like that Intel has entered into the GPU market because most if not all cards are built with NVIDIA or AMD chipsets, looks like they need to sort out things overall but it's a promising start. Intel also has great packaging, in 2016 or so they used an IR soundboard to play the Intel jingle every time you open a CPU box just like those musical birthday cards. I cut them out and put in them in unsuspecting places such as a cabinet or by a door, walk into a room and you'd hear the jingle.

    Someone should make a dedicated ray tracing card. It would go in the second PCIE slot along with the gpu and it would allow for you to max out ray tracing without adding even a single percent of GPU usage meaning even ppl with lower end cards that dont have RT capabilities would get to experience ray tracing. Also having a dedicated ray tracing card would allow for developers to go crazy with ray tracing

    • @stpedro-ht9ng

Maybe someday when my EVGA FTW3 3060ti Ultra kicks the bucket, I'll consider replacing it with an Intel Arc because NVIDIA flat out said they are going to price gouge and AMD will probably be jealous of NVIDIA's revenues so they'll start raising prices too.
