How can Gotham Knight look worse than Arkham Knight, be current gen exclusive, and be locked to 30fps?

Publishers not letting studios the time they need to work on a game.

Forget the Microsoft Buyout, just closed the company out, layoff everyone and let the IP go into Legal Limbo

Its really telling when your own employees don't believe in the product.

I don't think Arc will go the way of Stadia as most people want this to succeed as they wanted a third competitor in the market. Hopefully it is successful enough for Intel to stick around. Get this in OEMs if they have to

How many people are willing to get the risk is the question?

It doesn't matter what Intel was thinking.  This was always gonna be the result for a first gen product.

 

Drivers are very very difficult to get right.  It was always going to be a shitshow at first, and it's clear they're not even going to bother with older titles as much.  Best to just focus on newer APIs and move forward rather than try to optimize decades worth of old games.

 

AMD, a company which supposedly knows how to make graphics cards, has had broken drivers for the past half year.  VIDEO HARDWARE ACCELERATION isn't currently working. That means in 2022 you can't even decode a Youtube video properly on an AMD card.  Shit is wild.

The Intel Arc is going to go the way of the Stadia unless Intel gets their but out of there heads.
Its one thing to have one thing that shit, but the drivers are shit, the construction is shit (tape and glue, too many LEDS), the compatibility is shit and this is a low budget Mid tier card.

They need to find a board partner to step in and make cards for them, preferably with less tape, and glue and heat traps. This this looks like founder edition trash.

Worst of all Intel expect the public to jump on their card in order to keep Nvidia (and lesser extend AMD) honest?

Arc card tear down. Oh and its bad. Like Nvidia 2000 series bad.
Steve is about to lose his shit here.

His argument for this is to keep Intel in the GPU game.

I get the argument, but its based on bad faith. Its a bad beta test, expecting people to be savy with a card that is picky what hardware it works with and can't be user serviced.
Truth is I can't in any sort of good faith recommend anyone to buy this. But this is better than people buying old Nvidia 970 and 770 cards, but not by much.

Here Steve even goes into this is a beta test, made for ehtnisist who want to tinker and not for everyone.
They have it on price, but the dollar to quality value isn't there.

It's poor performance on Siege, CS:GO and anything that runs on DX9 and DX11 would kill it for the people that meet the rebar requirement. 

Which hurts a Mid tier card like this, mid tier market tends to go for older games or games on a budget more than AAA titles.

I can't imagine what Intel was thinking with this. Then again I think their CPU coolers are all shit as well.

@DarkSakulI watched the Hardware Unboxed review. I'll link it but the summary was basically if they were only competing with the 3060 ($370), given the cheaper price, it could be viable option. The cost savings, for some, could be worth the additional headache.  However the 6650XT is cheaper and performs better on average. You can get a 6650Xt for $300. The 6600 can be had for $240.There is a reason Intel's slides did a value comparison against the 3060. Hell for an extra $20 you can get 6700XT instead of a 3060. Nvidia's low end GPU prices are a joke. One of their biggest at advantages at the high end is Raytracing performance. At the low end it's non issue Ray Tracing performance just sucks across the board.

 

 

I not disparaging Intel going for the Mid tier market, that price bracket is a smart move to break in, and Nvidia needs to be humbled.
What I want is people to be careful about being early adopters and you will be troubleshooting this card alot. This is for the budget enthusiast who don't mind being a Beta Tester. This card isn't for those who only experience with gaming PCs are buying a pre-built and did only minimal or no upgrades, this isn't for the inexperienced.
Maybe if this was already installed in a pre-built, but that's going to be a while before we see Pre-builts with Intel Graphic cards in Best Buy, maybe a systems builder service, but that going to be a while too.

Linus deserves a slap in the mouth for this title
 

Sure they compete with the NVIDIA RTX 3060 and AMD RX 6600, but they have their issues.
1. Not compatible with all chipsets/boards
2. Not compatible with all Intel and AMD CPUs
1&2 Cliff Notes: If your system don't support Rebar, don't get this card
3. Their Legacy support is weird.

Overwatch 2 and Stadia Are What Happen When Game Companies Don't Care About You

They never did care, they only care about the money they can fleece from you.

b) This will go well with the fanbase

I agree, hackers are going to hack.

I know 2003 Hulk wasn't well received but the actors in there were solid, it was more of a script issue than anything 

Well when more than half the movie was Banner trying to reconcile with his now dying father who happen to be physically abusive to him as a kid and the little bit of action scenes we got was some bad at the time CGI Hulk fighting some radioactive dogs for like the last 10 min.

Finally stuck my toes into the water of ps2 emulation. Hadn't up until this point because I've still got 2 ps2's, a CRT tv, and all the PS2 games I'm interested in. Having mixed results so far despite a rig that should have no issues handling ps2 emulation (R5 3600, GTX1070, 16gm DDR43200). Shinobi has some slight but manageable dips (though the FPS counter doesn't seem to show it), Chaos Legion has weird vertical lines, SC2 looks low res despite the settings, and CvS2 looks choppy and feels off. Shattered Soldier is running pretty damn good though. Will have to do some tweaking for sure.  The 3d stuff sure looks nice at 1080p.

I feel that PS2 and OG Xbox and onwards is a mixed bag for emulation. And unfortunately not every game going to look great and perform well. 

I feel for best results try PCSX2, Nightly Builds are going to perform better but be less stable. The Last Stable version is 2 years old. 
The Nightly Builds do have 64 bit and Vulkan support, which will help in the performance dept. 32 bit is mostly for older machine in according to ETA Prime.

AZ has had Whataburger my entire life. It's the best fast food Burger easily

Confirmed for taste cancer. But all Joking aside, I had a Whataburger once, it wasn't awful but there absolutely nothing special about it. 
Ketchup was cool, but I don't choose places on the condiments. 

I agree with the fries though, In and Out has Trash fries. Then again I fell most places have awful fries.

I mean, you don't get that kind of rich by thinking conventionally. 

Most don't get rich on their own ether. Bozos had plenty of help (plus he wasn't ever poor) and Elon got old money from what his family had with the South African Apartheid (and the Diamond minds). Mark Zuckerberg scammed his college friends to get facebook. Jobs used (and abused) Wozniak's intelect. Trump inherit a Real-estate Business from his father.  
Even Bill Gates had a well off Father who was a successful lawyer. And Gates is a bit of an anomaly, usually a smart person in a Stem field don't get that rich. 

And yes one hand you got Bill Gates, the other extreme you got Donald Trump who failed a basic cognition test meant for little children. 

Smart people don't become rich, shady people who don't mind fucking over other people do.
