Yeah, that makes sense. They probably can’t properly support a video card they couldn’t get their hands on due to Intel not shipping it until late last year. They also aren’t that powerful of cards. Lastly the Intel drivers are brand new. Most engines are not treated against them, as such there are a lot of corruption bugs. Which makes sense because they weren’t able to get the cards early enough to support them. Since Intel has now discontinued their flagship arc card not even a year after release it’s unlikely any games will really support Intel gpus in the future.
For anyone still following this thread in confusion, the Limited Edition (LE) card is Intel’s equivalent of a Founder’s Edition card. Intel stopped producing LE cards, but their AIB partners are still producing their own SKUs.

Whaaaat? That’s disappointing ☹️ I was hoping finally there’d be some more competition
They didn’t discontinue their cards, only the limited edition one.
Ohh, thank you for the clarification!
You’re welcome :) I’m actually going to buy the 770 by the end of this year. Heard it works great on Linux.
