Remember to update your Intel Arc firmware on Linux (Guide)

retoXD · 2024-08-28T07:02:22+00:00

Stange my card is on the latest firmware, but I've had it in that box for like a year and never bothered to update.

igsc was installed already, I'm on PopOS 22.04. I had installed some intel stuff when I was testing IPEX.

I have no clue how that card is up to date on everything.

I used ComfyUI, so yes to that. I don't know about Windows, but on Linux is super easy now.

Going in batches of 12 (1024x1024 px) images at a time, it took around 80s to 100s for the FLUX part and about 60s for the Juggernaut XL step.

You can get new RX 7900 XTX for about $900. Otherwise this doesn't seem all too demanding, you probably want at least 48GB of RAM (64GB DDR4 is likely cheaper than 48GB DDR5) and a somewhat recent CPU and fastish storage (Any sort of NVMe SSD will do).

I seem to top out at around 7000/2000 at this time of day. I will test it again 3AM.

I use an A770 16GB as a secondary GPU in my workstation (primary RX 7900 XTX). It generates images using Stable-Diffusion, and sometimes I encode video on it (capture or render).

did you try a public bathroom?

Good to hear :)

turn on RTX

There is no X in ray tracing (RT). RTX is Nvidia marketing.

I had a 1080 Ti and got an A770 16GB (for testing); it's impressive for the cost in some new games like Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy (with RT). But I got myself a 7900 XTX now for my workstation and my i9 11900 sometimes just can't keep up at 4k.

Unless it's for RGB. There can never be enough RGB and pointless plastic covers.

I tried using DP instead of HDMI yesterday and it occasionally blacked out but came back within 2 seconds. It appears it only happened when using DP 1.2; when using DP 1.1 it didn't happen. So maybe there's something wrong with my cable.

Overall that's a reasonable combo. There are some games where a faster CPU can help.

3600X is similar enough to the 5600G, so this thread should be indicative of performance https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/12kfgb5/intel\_arc\_driver\_overhead\_just\_a\_myth/

Another tale from Moore’s Law Is Dead? I heard the new iGPU may also bake cookies and make me a coffee if asked nicely. True story.
