Wow very informative sir new subscriber here

[pacjosephnovabos]

can you make another review about this card? because others said it has been better and fix with the new drivers!

[marxmaiale]

I've been using one of these for a few months, the drivers are getting better on the monthly updates. The last set of drivers corrected the last of the oddball issues (text not rendering on some buttons in some games). OBS has a beta version that is supposed to support Arc features, I'd wait until that is bug checked and actually released (Probably Jan or Feb). XeSS plugin for Unreal Engine was also just released, it probably has other fixes and optimizations for Arc as well (probably waiting until about Feb 2023 as well for game updates with these). Minecraft Bedrock has raytracing for this in development/testing, again a wait for game updates.

I wouldn't recommend this as an 'Upgrade' Card, Re-Bar requirement. If you're making a new system and want to have ok game play while saving up for a big graphics card this will fill in (for the most part, check game capability first).

My questions have to do with the long run use of the card, can this be run in a secondary slot without interfering with the performance of a new main video card? Can we pair this with and AMD card for its Encoder? Will the Media server programs update for Arc Encoders (Use for video streaming computers)?

I have ryzen 7 2700x this means I can't put this card on my pc?
