I'm rebuilding my gaming rig, and my GeForce 780 is getting a little long in the tooth. I grabbed a 980 but it isn't a really big jump. What's the consensus nowadays - nVidia, AMD, or … Intel? The ARC chipsets are competitive at the mid-range of gaming performance, so if Intel is the most eye-friendly I could always grab an ARC750 pretty cheap.

@"Gurm"#p35491 Possibly the A770 LE with Windows OS

@"karut"#p35493 do we think it's necessary to get an A770 or could I go for the A580 at half the price? Do we have any data on the differences? I've been reading up and $150 for an A580 is pretty appealing (looks like ASRock is the way to go, not Sparkle).

@"Gurm"#p35491 the user "degen" on here has a post about the a770 arc working for him. I think he uses latest windows 11 but just want to make sure ACM is disabled in windows. With a true 8 bit or 10 bit monitor shouldn't dither according to what Intel told me too. Another user here uses an a380 which supposedly works for him with Ubuntu. Just don't enable any HDR btw.

Also supposedly the Radeon 6600XT doesn't dither according to psychtoolbox/vipixx which I believe are scientists that require no dithering on their computers. Unsure if it's fully safe but supposedly it passes their test they run on it for dithering. They said windows right away is fine but Linux requires changing something in the driver I think.

@"jordan"#p35495 Yeah, this is my plan. I just wanted to make sure it was across the entire ARC range. Seems like we've got positive votes for 380 and 770 - the 380 is slow and the 770 is $300+, so the 580 or 750 are better choices for me at the 150 and 200 price points, respectively.

@"Gurm"#p35497 the only one I know that was tested in windows was the a770 limited edition Intel variant. Hopefully those others would be similar!

@"jordan"#p35498 looks like eDenonhas had good luck with the a380, albeit he won't use MS products so he hasn't tested Windows, but it rules out hardware issues I would think. Not sure if his a380 was Intel branded, I can't seem to find any of those so I'm guessing maybe it's either the Sparkle or ASRock variant?

@"Gurm"#p35500 it's the a380 index which is made by gunnir. I think if it's safe for him in Linux then we should be able to get something to work on windows with tweaking ? I wonder if we can modify Intel driver or use a random older Intel driver on 1809 win 10.. I think it should be dither free in windows but unsure about os strain. Maybe get it on Amazon so you have a return policy lol

@"Gurm"#p35491 Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'm still using my Radeon Pro W5500 on Linux, and when tested with a capture card I was unable to detect dithering either in the BIOS or running Linux (text and graphical modes).

@"JTL"#p35503 what distro are you using?
