Anyone have experience with Intel Arc GPUs? - eviltoast

I’m considering building a new machine soon and was looking at the Intel Arc GPUs as a possibility. Anyone have experience using them in their system? I’m on Arch btw

    Yeah no change with 6.6, I guess I’ll probably open an issue somewhere when I have the time to figure out what’s broken.

      Just to make sure, you’re using DisplayPort right? I don’t think the Arc cards support VRR over HDMI. The HDMI port on the Arc is actually a built in DisplayPort to HDMI converter, and I don’t think any converter chips support VRR modes.

          Okay so for whatever reason, turning Freesync on and off a bunch of times from the OSD and then replugging works until the next reboot, so I’ve dumped the working EDID and I’m trying to figure out how to load it at boot (but I’m not having much luck).

          For reference, the monitor is a Samsung LC24RG50.

          Edit: Got the EDID loaded, KDE says it’s supported, but VRRTest doesn’t really seem to do anything.

          Edit 2: Other games work fine.
