      Didn't AMD also have massive driver updates for the 6000 series at the start of the year too? Something like a ~10% performance uplift across most games?

          I've had red, green and blue. To be fair the drivers are why I'm now only willing to buy green. I don't care about updates for the last 10% performance as much as stability and usability

          I would consider AMD again but I'd have to test a loan card as I'm not paying $1000 to find they're still crap

        And last year they completely rewrote the OGL drivers and some games were literally 4x faster because the old ones were garbage. It was kind of unexpected really since OGL is barely used anymore.

        ATi (AMD) and NVIDIA have been around for over 20 years. Their products work fine and drivers are always either ok or good enough for 90% of games..

        You cant say the same thing about intel.. maybe with time they can improve.

          Yup, since back when they were ATi to other people's systems today. The driver quality is still exactly the same, and that's why they sell so many fewer cards than nvidia, and why nvidia can price gouge like they've been doing: https://iili.io/HLGiVaI.png

              @vid_ghost: I definitely did have driver issues with my hd 6950 and 2x 7970's, that was the era where frame times became the hot topic. But since then AMD's drivers have been solid for me and I've had more driver related bugs with NVIDIA in recent years.

              The most recent one was where the HDMI port on my 3070 won't output to my projector but my shield, switch and Rx 570 all will.

      A used fb-marketplace 6600XT for $200 is way way way better than this will ever be (alas)

      And given the delay until 2024 now for the nextgen from intel (rumoured to be already axed) its not a safe bet at all the 700series from Intel unless its FREE.

      Discontinued by Intel unfortunately on june 20. https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-to-discontinue-a770-limite… so the stocks will be quite limited.

      Haven't seen the Bifrost or Acer Arc cards in Australia

      • sargorn on 17/07/2023 - 15:51
        +14

        The Intel branded "Limited Edition" is discontinued - not A770 from other manufacturers. It's almost like the Intel A770 LE was a limited edition or something…

        • scrimshaw on 17/07/2023 - 15:52
          +4

          The Limited edition of the Intel ARc is one of the very few models that are 16GB.

          The other AIBS don't have a 16GB model, apart from Gunnir Photon and Acer Bifrost. If you do a search on Static Ice for 16GB A770, you'll see there aren't any 3rd party partner models in stock

          https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Arc+A770+1…

          The article also mentions that
          * The A770 LE was one of the very few Intel models offered with 16GB VRAM. This means that only three Arc A770 16GB models will remain on the market, including as: ACER Predator Bisfrost and Gunnir Photon in Black and White, so not a long list for sure. However, Intel also offers a 8GB SKU to its partners, and there are as many as four models featuring this configuration as well.

          The Aussie market is quite different from the US (much smaller), essentially I do not think we will be getting a stock replenishment of ARC A770 16GB cards any more. The margins on ARC cards are very low and it won't be a very high volume product down under.

      The Acer 16GB cards are AU$550 ex GST with Acer earning 10% margin

      Once the 4060 Ti pricing is locked this week and the RX 7800 next month, we will have confirmation that NVIDIA and AMD collusion is currently jacking up 16GB card prices by AU$200-300

        I'm a bit new to this, but when you say locked this week do you mean the MSRP (which is $910 AUD on the official Nvidia website 👀) or the settled prices after a few days (which unless it gets to the same price as the 3060 Ti won't be very comforting for me)?

    AMD are delivering constant driver updates. They're just not fixing any core problems. The shader cache has been bugged for like their last 10 drivers.

        "There are plenty of games that slowly introduce new enemies with new abilities throughout their campaigns, or simply just new environments with new assets, and more often than not does all of that content come with new shaders as well. I just recently played Far Cry 1 (a dx9 game) and it stutters every other minute even in the 3rd, 4th, 5th level."

          Apologies I have not read your 1000+ OzB comments

          None of these comments indicate shader caching isn't working (except for one dude with Destiny 2 but like lol stop playing that p2w garbage). It takes ~10 mins after a new driver version for DXNavi to get a proper shader cache for DX11/DX9 titles. After that it's fine, Apex is the only game that does this for me

            In the reddit comments:

            re "I disagree.

            "It really depends, if new assets keep popping up every few minutes for the entirety of the game, yeah that could be a few hours"

              @Jimmy77: the only game example there is fc1, a game which is approaching 20 years old and surprisingly may need community mods to run right on modern architectures/windows versions.

              for shiggles i read through the pcgw article on fc1 and there is a whole section on solving stutter in the game on modern systems. instead of solving their own problems (or trying solutions like dxvk, or trying the opengl renderer, or trying dgvoodoo) reddit posters would rather complain and blame the drivers

                Do you even know how shader cache works? And do you understand how AMD's optimized shader cache works?

                You're effectively denying the reality of how many games are coded. But if I wanted to argue on your level I'd say "well it doesn't do it in FC1 on nvidia cards"

      My first AGP card bought in Dec 1998 was also a i740 8MB, it was a "Jaton" brand (what happened to them?). However, I never used the card for 3D games, as I also had a Voodoo2 installed (which couldn't do 2D). Replaced both cards with a TNT in 1999.

    • opti on 17/07/2023 - 21:34

  • Brrrrt on 17/07/2023 - 18:39

    Adding to OP, people should check GN's review on the 4060 to gain an appreciation of how much arc drivers have improved over the month. Its a 4060 review but the Arc results are newly revisited (Steve didnt mention it in this video but in another video) and are quite current.

    You can see that while theres still games that Arc is not optimised in, in a lot of titles the arc cards are putting themselves well around a 7600 & 4060 levels of performance. And ARC performance drivers updates are like a monthly recurring theme, unlike AMD's fine wine drivers which is as rare as it sounds.

    • Brrrrt on 17/07/2023 - 19:17

      because amd tries to market themselves (and their fanbase hails them as) the budget alternative to nvidia which its ever being less true with 7000 gen releases..

      Call be wrong but I dont believe being just 'better than nvidia' is enough. Because their gpu prices are still inflated as ****

    Just a word of caution, if you have an older system which doesn't support ReBAR, the performance on these takes a massive hit. Anything older than 10th gen Intel CPUs is a no-go with Arc.

    AMD have actually been hammering down on fixing tonnes of bugs this year if you owned one you would know, sometimes stuff that doesn't even get listed in driver release notes gets fixed. Newest series always seems to have issues but the older cards like 6700XT I'd argue has less driver issues than Nvidia which is still suffering from MPO and DPC latency issues on the 30/40 series…

    As for Intel, I've only ever used their iGPUs and drivers were an absolute nightmare, I doubt anything has changed drastically enough in 2yrs to get all those older games working…
