It also has RGB without being too in your face. IF they made them with the PCB showing like you want, you'd see maybe 1% of it, because the other 99% has stuff on it, or would be covered by cooling anyway.

Since backplates are popular now, we need more cards with heavy theming; gimme something that looks like it was ripped out of a 70s fighter jet or old 80s movie spaceship and then given a fresh coat of paint. Personally, the first-party Arc cards look basically the same as almost every other GPU on the market.

It wasn't until the early 2010s that AMD fumbled but the sad part is that even when they were leading, even with graphics, they weren't being purchased at the same rate as Nvidia and you can't compete if you are losing market share even when you have the better product.

Im not calling for more "Dragons, explosions and RGB" like the industry has gravitated to, but there is 0 in-between and its really annoying. White/Beige, Orange/Red, and Black. Where is the shades of blue's, purples, pinks and greens. Where are coolers that are scientifically engineered to provide full-card cooling, not d-centric, with a tiny bit of ram cooling as a after-thought. Where are boards that rely on multi-colored layers (you can color each PCB layer independently). Where are non-aggressive logo/gfx designs. (Having a GPU shroud that looks like a bunch of trees with RGB clouds would be a breath of fresh air, ffs) Im tired of Black on Black box with generic, low-profile fan over mediocre angled fin-stack. Give me Aggressively-ported blowers, with multi-layered fin-stack groupings, connected via exchange-plates and heat-pipes. Give me horizontally stretched heat-sinks that extract heat to the rear of the card and vent it vertically, for vertically-cooled rigs... I want something new and innovative. Not more GPU's boards designed with ITX's for factors in mind, then have a black box thats been used since 2006 bolted on top as its cheap from Taiwanese/Chinese vendors...

How good is it at stable diffusion AI image generation comapred to a 3090 or 4090?

[@gvarph7212]

I wonder if they are going to be good for 4k streaming for plex. I'm looking for a GPU that doesn't consume a ton of power, doesn't take much space and can transcode 2 4k streams at the same time

[@mushieslushie]

Based on your comments about the wattage etc it would be amazing if they have some sort of driver epiphany and unlock more performance. Sounds like there are other hardware issues that might make that impossible though.

[@FinnReinhardt]

The Design is absolutely amazing!

[@technerd9655]

I haven't seen any information on Canadian pricing or availability posted anywhere. Has anyone seen this?

[@OldBuford]

I know its a silly thing but i really wish they had made the power ports 2 full size 8pins, even if the last 2 are dummy ports with no connectors just so we could use 2 full 8pin cables for a balanced aesthetic (and why is one port glossy dark black and the other flat and more grey?)

I think one of the most exciting things about the Arc gpus is the (relatively) slim form factor!

[@riba2233]

not really, 3080ti fe is similar in size but 1.5x-2x the perf.

[@SimonBauer7]

nice card! it is a first gen product. what do you expect. as long as it is affordable it is fine. i like the looks of the arc founders edition more than either amds or nvidias founders editions. if they are new to it maybe drivers improve and we get free performance in the future just like on amd cards. if xess doesnt work that well we can just use amds fsr.

Displayport specifies the bandwidth per lane because you may not always be using 4 lanes. If you're using a USB-C dock with dp alt mode, half the lanes may be used for regular USB leaving only 2 for DP. Or if you're using Thunderbolt you might have 8 lanes.

What about DXVK on this? Does it fix the performance issues when running DX9, 10 and 11

[@samlawrenson3963]

calling it now, they're gonna have a nine series at some point

[@HVGVN]

I love its subtle and sleek design aesthetic

[@thebreatho]

And you, young GPU. We will watch your career with great interest!

[@jakestocker4854]

One of these is going to look soooo good in a matte black build

[@kostihouse]

Shouldnt that videi encoder also help with quality of wireless vr streaming?

[@Altirix_]

why on earth does it need a USB connection to change the RGB lighting when its connected to PCIE? seems really clunkly when there should be nothing stopping them going over pcie they already connect to

[@Agent66692]

that neon light is sick! Nvidia could include smth like this too for how much they are charging

[@GTFODeathknight]

im just wondering how well would this work to transcode for plex

[@ZomgZomg007]

The moment you placed the Arc stand thing flat...i keep hearing a humming noise from it :S

[@Rogue_Night21]

what's the test bench air cooler?

[@zorrothebug]

@8:50 "... as NVIDIA's NVENC at about 6000kbit/s..." err, what codec was used with NVENC? h.264 or h.265? 🤔

[@AKD_PK]

Damn not even on the main channel, I still like to see the fact that we have a gpu from another manufacturer.

[@airixxxx]

Why does it need a USB cable for the lights? I can adjust the lights color, intensity and effects of my MSI card without one. It even has a mobile app to configure them.

[@ewilliams28]

I had heard at the start of this that it would support SR-IOV. Any word of if that made it in?

[@bricefleckenstein9666]

4:33 Some of the 4000 series 3'd party cards have already announced the use of standard PCI-E connectors. Seems like a GOOD thing given the issues with melting and occasional FIRE that "16 pin" Nvidia reference connector is having.

[@The-Urban-Goose]

Why does this card need a connection to an internal USB header for RGB when other cards can do it over PCIe?

[@aaronlagomarsino7980]

uummm why do the colors look so good on this video, did you guys get new cameras?

[@tld8102]

can they put a usb/thunderbolt io on the gpu? it would be nice to have usbC display out

[@Ant_105]

It's exciting to see new competition for gpus

[@christianl2024]

does the arc neon thingy come with every card
