Without mentioning it in its driver change-log, Intel Graphics has quietly addressed the issue of unusually high power-draw for its Arc A-series GPUs in multi-monitor setups. The older 101.4091 drivers had a typical single-monitor idle power-draw of around 11 W, which would shoot up to 40 W idle in ...

Originally posted by emansom View PostHas the idle power usage issue been resolved yet? e.g. it not consuming 40W in idle?
"Intel's Arc has been out for almost a year and there are reports that an Alchemist refresh in the form of Alchemist+ is in the works. This would mark an intermediate solution before the company shifts to the more high-end Battlemage GPUs in 2024."

KDE developers trying to implement HDR in Plasma have problems with both AMD and Intel drivers not implementing HDR requirements fully / correctly.

I'm not impressed with ARC, the drivers are buggy and barely usable in certain scenarios and the GPUs are slow with no proper high end offering. I hope they continue with their efforts and do become a competitor to AMD and Nvidia instead of just giving up though.

I'm just disappointed at the lack of driver support for a) playing games, or b) encoding videos. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/x...l/-/issues/234
My plan was to record or stream gaming (Xe driver) in AV1 (i915 driver). What a waste of potential.

from sdutt:
Can you please share the titles on steam which are not starting with i915 either here or in a separate bug? We will triage/investigate whether the issue is due to lack of VM_BIND in i915 or something else.
EDIT: I say well supported but I do run a custom ffmpeg build with own tooling, no idea how well OBS and stuff works.

I'm not sure if it's a Mesa thing also.
It's about KDE developers trying to implement HDR on Linux by adding support to Plasma.
They have discovered that AMD doesn't support the "Colorspace" property:
This MR implements the ability to change the color space a display expects to BT.2020, to send the HDR metadata required to allow the use of the PQ...
And a developer replied somewhere that while Intel supports it, YCbCr is broken, so no vendor has a correct / full implementation of HDR support in their driver.
So I'm not sure why KDE needs this colorspace supported and in whay way is broken, but Intel should fix it.
Nobody can go forward with full / correct HDR implementation if that' not the same in the drivers.
