As to ARC: Performance in the latest games is mostly bad. Battle mage needs to get the bang for buck back on track.
Most likely they switched development to the Battlemage drivers.

I think that the Arc buyers will be screwed as the design of Battlemage is probably significantly different to fix the Arc drivers, so improvements for Battlemage will probably often not carry over to Arc. And with the limited sales, there probably will be too few angry people for them bothering to do much for Arc once Battlemage is out.

Indeed. ARC is going from fine blueberry wine to vinegar

I have an unlikely request for a ARC graphics card owner:
Medieval Total War Gold Edition (c. 2003)
I have not been able to even open this game on my Intel Xe laptop while it works (ish) on a RDNA3 laptop. I was wondering if ARC has the same problem.

My A750 has been relegated to the Mrs. daily driver. I don't own the game either. Have you already tried the 32bit DXVK files and DXwrapper with no joy?

Hopefully someone here can test for you.

Those are way slower, and the exact issue that Intel had, is that they thought that their drivers that worked well for low performance APUs, would work well for discrete graphics cards. But it turns out that they didn't.

Another unfortunately poor showing for ARC



Going to need XeSS, which should get you over 60FPS so you can use frame generation.

do you guys figure that Battlemage is going to be reasonably priced, compared to an equivalent AMD / Nv card? (i.e. is there any point to me waiting another 6 months before i can play STALKER 2, or should i shell out for a A770 on cyber monday?)

The B580 and B750 may launch in a week or 3 according to the latest rumors. It'd be savvy to get them out before Xmas and before the other IHVs next generations launch. Day one reviews should help you decide which way to go. That time should give devs a chance to patch some of the major bugs in Stalker 2.

yep, i heard of those. But let's be serious, nobody was expecting a STALKER (!!) game to launch without bugs.
I saw a blurb in my feed where the reviewer said they encountered the same bug from 14yrs? ago, and it they found it comforting. 🤣
