That's a very new architecture with tons of bugs, you will not have a pleasant time with it.
PS: 23.7.2 here, working fine with no issues.
Good advice. He should try to get help or switch to Nvidia. Intel Arc isn't ready yet.
I'm considering a 7900 XTX - I think some ppl here have this card but I haven't read any updates - either everything is okay or they gave up?
Any idea how it is is DR right now? I also am interested in using DR in Linux - will that make a difference? Maybe it's better to have an Nvidia card if using DR in Linux? Just curious.
Some sites that test DR - e.g. Puget Systems - the 7900 XTX does fine (in Windows) - although, it might not resemble 'real world' results or outcomes? I understand the driver version can make a difference.
Also, in Linux - there's a lot of variables - different kernel versions, package versions - Nobara - is a distro based on Fedora - and DR is supposedly already configured - I was thinking of trying it. Thanks for any insight/info. Cheers!
Oh, I don't want any gpu 'war' either - so, please no flame wars or anything. I'm sure nvidia and amd cards are okay for ppl - I am just curious if I should invest in the 7900 xtx or 4080 - and interested in ppl's experiences.
