Intel is completely rotten? ARC graphics card performance is not good, Intel recommends users to change A card

Starting from this generation of graphics cards, all manufacturers' products have begun to support the function of Resizable BAR, which actually allows the processor to directly read the video memory of the graphics card, thus reducing intermediate steps to obtain lower latency and higher performance. Graphics cards including AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel now have similar functions. Of course, AMD is doing the best, and Intel is relatively behind in this part. AMD also has a separate name for this feature, SAM, which is Smart Read Video Memory. At the same time, AMD obviously attaches more importance to this function, so many games have been optimized for this technology. Just turn on the Resizable BAR item in the motherboard BIOS. Many games can get performance improvements through this function. NVIDIA's RTX 30 series graphics cards of course also support the Resizable BAR function, but in the game optimization part, NVIDIA is not so careful, and it seems that the impact of turning it on or not is not particularly big. Therefore, for players, the best solution for this technology is to get a good game improvement after it is turned on, and it can also play a good performance of the graphics card without turning it on. But I don't know what Intel thinks, and regards Resizable BAR technology as an important part of the performance structure. In the current test, if the motherboard does not support the Resizable BAR function, or the configuration does not meet Intel's requirements, the performance of the ARC graphics card may drop by 40%, which is indeed a bit exaggerated. According to Intel, Intel ARC graphics cards also support Resizable BAR, but due to driver optimization issues, they are currently only suitable for 10/11/12 generation processors and 400/500/600 series motherboards. This means that even if the user's motherboard supports the Resizable BAR function, if it is not a processor of the tenth generation Core Duo or above, or the motherboard is not a model above 400, then the graphics card cannot be installed to obtain the best performance, which is equivalent to not turning on Resizable. BAR function. This is indeed confusing to some users, so many users are also inquiring about how to optimize the use of Intel ARC graphics cards if their platforms are older, or do not support Resizable BAR. In response to these users' questions, Intel is also very direct, saying that if users are still using 9th-generation Core processors or older platforms, or AMD platforms, don't buy our ARC graphics cards and continue to use them. AMD or NVIDIA graphics card. This is somewhat ironic. In fact, in addition to the Resizable BAR problem, Intel ARC graphics cards do not support AMD platforms well. Even if the AMD motherboard has the Resizable BAR function, there will still be many problems. And this time Intel's response can be regarded as a real hammer to the fact that its own graphics card is not compatible with AMD platform. Although Intel promises to solve this problem on new architecture graphics cards in the future, it is clear that at least this generation of ARC graphics cards will not support the old platform and AMD platform well! So for users, if you are a user of an AMD platform, or a user who is still using a nine-generation Core or even older computer, you can simply give up the purchase of Intel ARC alone. Of course, for Intel's honest answer, we don't know whether Intel's sloppy attitude shows that it doesn't have too much hope for its own ARC graphics card, or whether it is really a sincere answer because it can't solve this problem. But in any case, this will definitely have a lot of negative effects on Intel's ARC graphics cards. At present, the performance of ARC's highest-end graphics cards is not as good as that of RTX 3070 and RX 6700, and it is still unable to obtain the best performance on AMD platforms and old Intel platforms. Basically, we don't need to expect how good the sales of this product will be. !
