Anyone tried Altium with the Intel Arc A770 GPU?

(1/1)

Numex106:
Has anyone tried the latest Intel Arc GPUs (A770 or A750) with Altium Designer?

Altium's recommended system requirements only recommends DX10 support or better.
I do have some fairly large projects (think 10" x 10" PCB with couple thousand components) and want it to smoothly. But I was more wondering if there were any bugs or quirks when running the arc gpus with Altium.
Thanks!

thm_w:
If you want it to run smoothly, whats the issue with just getting an older nvidia GPU? Its not like you need the latest most powerful GPU.
I'm sure a 1070, 2060+ or similar would be fine.

The only justification is if you want to have the machine as dual use for gaming and CAD.

SiliconWizard:
Even a 1060 works fine and is already overkill for Altium.
Even a much less powerful GPU would work.

As to the new Intel Arc GPUs, while interesting, at this point feedback shows that drivers are still very buggy with a lot of limitations, so I'd suggest staying away, at least until this all gets more stable.
