Best graphics card to prevent migraines, nausea, etc.. Intel Arc A770 or A750?

NVIDIA Quadro 6000 is Fermi GPU that will not work with RTX 3090 etc, even 1660 Super is not compatible.

You can use old driver for Quadro 6000 but it is not compatible with any up to date driver for RTX or 1660 Super.

Anything like Quadro 6000 is very power inefficient, will heat and use more then 3090 idle. 70W at least. I would rather consider NVIDIA Quadro 2000, but its old too. Or perhaps I don't know secret how to make it work?

smilem Haven't tested myself but I believe you need a Quadro Kepler at the minimum to work with a 3090 and only on nvidia drivers between 456 (adds 3090 support) and 475 (ends kepler support).

jordan How is the A770?

karut Not yet. I've been flared up by other things so haven't been able to start testing my PC stuff yet unfortunately

any more love for the INTEL ARC? Radeon Pro? Quadro? surely one of these is a good direction. My w5700 and k4000 seem promising, but windows 11 insists on managing them amd usually ends up crashing.

Any chance these Intel Arc graphics cards are included in Intel's Programmer Reference Manuals (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/graphics-for-linux/developer-reference/1-0/overview.html)?

Because if they are, we could probably check if temporal dithering is enabled on Linux. Which could explain the Linux eyestrain @degen mentioned. Instructions on how to do it can be found in this thread: https://ledstrain.org/d/1017-registers-to-control-intel-graphics-dithering-on-linux-located

Edit: I think it's this one: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/graphics-for-linux/developer-reference/1-0/alchemist-arctic-sound-m.html
Specifically: "Volume 2c: Command Reference: Registers Part 2", page 1056

Please share your findings. I don't have an Intel Arc card so I can't further participate.

I was looking to purchase an Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition and test with Windows 10, 11, and Linux. I have a PC that feels fine with Windows 10 Pro with a Nvidia 3080 TI. I have tried Windows 11 and many different versions of Linux on this same PC where all of them give me eyestrain, even though Windows 10 22H2 does not. I'm not entirely certain if dithering is my issue, but I would like to give the A750 a try in a 2nd PC that I built for the purpose of finding a combination of safe components to use Linux/Windows 11 in the future. On this forum, it seems that the A770 LE is the one that people are having success with but I wonder if the A750 LE would be almost identical in terms of the dithering stuff. Does anyone know?

In terms of laptops, I saw there are some that have Intel Arc as the igpu. Could Ditherig work on that, like it does for the Intel Iris XE ones?

degen Hello found a post that on Win11 24H2 the is totally ignoring that key, because it keeps forcibly enabling that stupid "automatically manage color for apps" despite the key being set to 0.

Enable or Disable Auto Color Management for Apps in Windows 11 | Windows 11 Forum

Is the way to fix it is downgrade to Win 11 22H2?

Also this post Windows 11 ACM is just another piece of trash on the trash pile of Win Color Management : r/Monitors

I feel nausea on AMD 6750xt in combo with Omen 27q..
I need to investigate if the problem is related to the monitor or GPU.

In your experience what triggers nausea?
I don't feel migraines or eyestrain and I'm good with my gut and stomach during the day and using other devices.

Aquila it's interesting that you mention you are ok during the day(I assume while using it).

I talked with chatgpt about that, it may be useful:

Aquila

autobot No, I don't use it during the day, in the evening only.
Now I'll change monitor, to test my nausea, otherwise I'll back to my safe 1660 super

Thank you so much for your research.
🙏
