    The Arc 7 series GPUs were aimed at gaming. They didn’t generally perform on par with the competition, and there were driver issues at launch. IIRC they just couldn’t run anything DirectX 9 or older, but performed ok on newer games.

    I don’t know what the status on them is like now.

      Their driver support supposedly has gotten a lot better, but I can’t confirm myself. I did get their cheap a380 for an encoder card for my Jellyfin server because it’s pretty much the cheapest offering with an AV1 hardware encoder. It’s working great for that so far.
