I don't use Windows, so I can't describe the performance or experience on Windows. all related to experience on the openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux distribution. I bought the card primarily for video processing and also for running Ollama home server (local GPT models). If you're thinking of buying right now and it has to be an Intel GPU, I'd recommend the previous generation Arc A770 16GB, which is almost the same price, has more VRAM and more debugged drivers. Current and higher performance for general purposes. I bought the card out of curiosity, and I'll probably sell it the moment Intel releases the B770 (or whatever the higher end with more VRAM is called).
Good support on Linux out-of-the-box from kernel version 6.12 and Mesa 24.3
Performance on Linux is generally comparable or a bit lower than Intel Arc A770 16GB (the 4GB is missing) despite the fact that it is new hardware (so certainly a lot of optimizations are not yet implemented). Unfortunately, I haven't tested the "gaming" performance outside of benchmarks. For a last-gen GPU, the price is very reasonable.
Lower power consumption than A770 in idle on Linux, but not lower than AMD Radeon RX 7800XT.
Like the previous generation, this is my number one choice for video encoding. In a lot of objective metrics, it's even capable of outperforming "ordinary" GeForce cards from Nvidia. And throughput is often better than Nvidia cards. Intergenerationally, this card can encode AV1 a bit better, but the VPL library is still struggling with a few bugs, which will be even more noticeable once resolved.
Compared to AMD's GPU, it is better at video encoding in all categories (throughput, encoding quality, latency (in low-latency configuration), bitrate control (far more suitable for archiving), format support), but so was the previous generation of Intel cards. If you don't mind a worse ecosystem of video editing/recording programs than Nvidia cards, I'd recommend trying Intel.
Native support for more professional formats like HEVC 12-bit 4:4:4:4 and even more obscure interlaced video encoded with HEVC/H.264, which hasn't been supported in NVENC on Nvidia cards for years (almost a decade). Still encoding 12-bit content is unsupported (decoding only).
Of course, the card supports B-frame encoding as well as lookup for better bitrate control decisions - the resulting encode is comparable (even in terms of subjective quality) to software encoders in medium (x264/H.264) and fast (x265/HEVC) settings. So on the format side there are not many changes compared to the previous generation.
It's only dual-slot, like the original A770 16GB edition. This is especially useful if one wants to run multiple GPUs in one "ordinary" computer.
only the 12GB version.
So far less AI performance than I expected despite OneAPI. This may be due to the fact that the drivers are not yet optimized. but it's almost identical to the A770 16GB
Generationally it's not that much of a leap, perhaps the only thing visibly improved over the A770 is a better performance/consumption ratio.
As with the previous generation, it is necessary to have ReBAR enabled in the BIOS, without it the GPU performance is noticeably worse. It is therefore advisable to make sure that CSM ("legacy bootloader support") is not enabled in the BIOS and that the board supports ReBAR at all.
On Linux, the driver prints a message on startup that ReBAR is not available.
For AMD and Nvidia, the impact of having ReBAR turned off is far less, but it's still there.
Support for VP9 encoding has been removed compared to the last generation, but VP8/9 decoding remains (in the full specification - i.e. Profiles 0-3, which is not supported by AMD or Nvidia). Intel's strong VP9 encoder artifacts on previous generations and poor compression efficiency alongside other options just didn't make sense. On paper, the GPU lost support for encoding to a single codec, but in reality it just freed up unnecessary silicon.
B580 did not get support for H.266/VVC (successor to HEVC), even though Lunar Lake processors already have support for VVC decoding.

So I was lucky, the card came today. About 10 days after ordering, Alza surprised me: -). And the impressions? The card is very nice, so far I haven't come across anything that doesn't work and I was even surprised by the support in games where you can adjust the settings that the card supports. I'm curious and so I already wanted to get the first generation but the moment I ordered the ARC770 this new generation came out so I waited until it was available: -). And I don't regret it, the card runs more than well so far which is a pleasant surprise for me. Even the price seems fine to me due to the equipment, after all, 12GB of memory is not seen in this price category. It is clear to me that every person's opinion will suit some people, some people will not. I am satisfied, and I will recommend the card for purchase. Just be sure to check the ReSizableBAR support of your motherboard and the system requirements recommended by the manufacturer before buying. Well, if you bought it too, let it serve: -)
