I saw the other day about the new video of Hardware Unboxed where they benchmarked the Intel GPUs with newer drivers on Windows. I’m also interested in buying one but I’d like to know how good they are on Linux. Since the GPUs will be using Vulkan renderer on Linux, I was hoping they would be better overall, or rather have a decent performance. What is your general experience with them? Also, do they work well with Wayland? Thanks for any and all inputs.

    its been ok, some things still have issues, I get graphical glitches and lower then expected performance in genshin, not sure if this is a dxvk or an anv thing, but it’s not too much lower. It is a bit lower then my rx580 4g in the second slot however

        the a380 is known to be more or less the same performance as a rx580 on windows right now, lower performance for full float ops, and higher perf for half float ops, but you do have a newer feature set, so It really shouldn’t come as a surprise that it would preform in the same ballpark as the rx580,

        as I said it is lower then expected performance, meaning performance on windows is higher, but this should really not come as a surprise IMO. Linux has less development effort being done to it, and there haven’t really been all that many bug reports, of which I’m guilty for as I havent been reporting bugs i’ve come across.
