[@michaelrayguitartech]

@@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.

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 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.

[@jlagraba]

I have the same card running 4K resolution at 45-55 fps. I’ve never seen something so beautiful on my monitor

[@alexlexo59]

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

[@Grayfox01]

Oh no, Intel is let down by the performance. They wanted more, but sure they at least priced appropriate for the market. But this first gen is putting the whole project in tepid waters.

[@David-yx3bd]

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.

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

[@spht9ng]

There might be PCI-E limitations regarding bandwidth. RT cores are integrated into the GPU so the bandwidth is high and latency is low.

[@ummerfarooq5383]

Like a photonic chip card. Then ray tracing would be instant.

Bad idea. RT cards are already basically doing that because they have dedicated cores for that. So it's not hurting shader performance anyways. All you're doing is adding latency and complication, while reducing bandwidth.

"runs very smoothly now" game proceeds to have a stroke

[@richardpastoor9336]

I hear you say A380 a few times....but you have an A770 installed... And by the way, the Intel Arc performs better at 1440p then on 1080p.

@El Cactuar you want a cookie now?

[@xtremezone987]

"Intel Airbus with not weird catching on fire power connectors" LoL brilliantly funny ;) Neway ya looks like Intel still needs to work more on their drivers/software until they can even think about trying to compete with AMD. I'm actually surprised they work as good as they do by this time. I thought they were going to be much worse. Thanx again for the entertaining vid Dawid :)

[@V3ntilator]

In 1990's there were over 10 GPU competitors. Today we have 2. Intel needs to get their shit together so we can have 3 GPU competitors.

[@repatch43]

The stutters could be a result of not enabling resizable bar?

[@zhon5311]

Impressive Quake 2 performance considering that is what I get with a rtx 3080

[@turfish]

Apparently the recent drivers have sorted out the performance super well, so for a card at this price point its apparently equivalent to a 3060 now

[@MrBendoug]

For whatever reason, KZbin defaulted CC on for this video when it started playing and captioned Ray Tracing as "Rage Racing" and now I can't stop laughing

[@toddkobelljr.2004]

Hardest graphical thing: Ray Tracing. 5 months later: PATH TRACING

[@Pearloryx]

As an avgeek and a tech geek, I approved with your jokes with the A380 on a gpu plane lol Also the term “GPU” is also in aviation, meaning “Ground Processing Unit”

[@WagnerFelix]

I love that you always put the consumption on the screen, its relevant to me :D

[@blakegriplingph]

Ray tracing in the Crysis remaster is actually software-based so it will work regardless of your GPU.

[@realflow100]

I like that the fans vaguely resemble a turbo jet engine main intake turbo fan like a big airliner would have.

[@AmongUs-mb4qx]

Missed opportunity to fire up some X-Plane and fly the actual an Airbus.

[@2009MazdaRX8]

yoooo dawid you probably won’t see this but i live in the uk and i was able by pre ordering 2 days before i could buy instantly get an a380

[@iwantpig]

I cant wait for Boeing's first gpu.

[@darthwiizius]

Will it crash due to software issues?

[@kevinerbs2778]

It's about 2080 T.i In Control with Raytraing not a bad card for $350.

[@trashman1805]

I like how Dawid compares a GPU to a literal Air plane

[@RandomAircraftVideos]

Finally someone notices the Airbus name scheme other than me

[@angw3l]

old title: can Intel's new graphics card even raytrace

[@crazychickengd]

Now all we need is a consumer Nvidia CPU, and we will be in the weirdest timeline

[@eldibs]

I'm more excited about the card as a dedicated video encoder, I might end up getting one in the future for my Plex server.

[@HusieK576]

Now I'm gonna call them Airbus GPUs...

[@officerjohns9554]

"Yo i just bought a airbus. Its in my pc rn!"
