It's okay that those cards are reviewed according to their current state. They are pretty bad. But that doesn't mean the second or third generation of those cards has to be bad, when they remove the resizable bar requirement (so they can be used in older systems) and improve the drivers. DXVK would be a great route, but I doubt Intel can push this on a driver level - it would be more of a Steam or Windows thing.
I assume those cards will be a great option for Linux systems soon, where DXVK is the default anyway. It's good to have an alternative to AMD.
- BearOso 4y ago> remove the resizable bar requirement They'd have to add support for changing the base address register. The easy default is just mapping all the memory directly. It's a lot more programming work to transfer data when you only have a 256MB window to work with. No use sticking with a limit that PCIe hasn't had since 32-bit.
- rrss 4y agoThere are still a ton of systems which have firmware that does not support large or resizable BAR. Support only became common in the last year or two (after AMD marketed as SAM and pushed to get it supported). So requiring the “easy default” to be available means prohibiting any one with a system from ~2020 or earlier from upgrading to these GPUs.
- BearOso 4y agoWell, they just added small BAR support to the Linux driver, so Intel certainly agrees.
