I disagree.
The drivers are much improved, yes, but in the meantime we've had the Arc cards performing like shit and being unstable for a year, and that's after they already released far later than the competition. Even now the drivers are still much worse than AMD or Nvidia and run into issues.
Their power usage is a joke, their die size is more similar to a card 2 tiers above the performance of what the cards achieve.
The price wasn't good either. Yeah they beat Nvidia by a bit, but they cost more than AMD for a far inferior product.
Arc was a failure. That's why Intel shut down their AXG division. You don't do that to a division that's performing well.
I understand people want a third player in the GPU space, I do too, but the truth is, Arc was bad. I don't think we should call them good just because they have a blue badge instead of a green or red one.
Based comment. I want them to succeed. I guess. But people seem to be making disingenuous claims about it.
