From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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

I'm running 6.5.10, also with an A770. I could maybe try/compile 6.6 later, but 6.5 seems new enough I thought.

Hmm, 6.5 should support VRR just fine yeah

[–] SteveTech@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SteveTech@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, it's definitely using DisplayPort!

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.
