Similar to what we've seen before, at least Cyberpunk 2077 is rendering correctly on Intel Arc Graphics but the performance with the ANV Vulkan driver remains very low compared to the AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards tested...

Even at 1080p it really wasn't a playable experience for Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Play with Intel Graphics on the current Linux graphics stack.

The Arc Graphics A750/A770 cards meanwhile were pulling roughly as much power as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060/3060 cards while running at just a fraction of the speed.

ET: Legacy benchmark with settings of Resolution: 2560 x 1440. RTX 3060 was the fastest.

The open-source ET: Legacy game that continues to iterate upon the original Enemy Territory game was even seeing a tough performance showing for Arc Graphics relative to the NVIDIA and AMD hardware. But at least this old id Tech 3 era game can easily run at hundreds of frames per second with modern GPUs....
