Intel Arc Performance

1 Like

Some time has gone by since I asked this question but will the Intel ARC 770 work with an AMD motherboard?

Will I be able to update Clear Linux Version without fear of making system in-operable?
My desire is to replace my current Nvidia graphics card with the Intel Arc 770 and have swupd updates
work without fear of making my system a brick? It’s is the main router and server in my house.

I have seen “Profile - marioroy - Clear Linux OS Forum” work:
GitHub - marioroy/nvidia-driver-on-clear-linux: NVIDIA driver installation on Clear Linux
It’s excellent from what I can tell, to be able to use an Nvidia graphics card with proprietary drivers, but
still be able to update both the Nvidia drivers and Clear Linux.

Also if I were to replace my Nvidia graphics card [GeForce GT 1030] will I have access to GPU development code/training for the Intel Arc 770 since Intel supports Clear Linux?

Paired with an Arc GPU this will be considerably faster :
