Intel Arc A750

Post by hashibs »

Hello,

Would it be possible to add this GPU? I didn't see it in GPUs.txt.
Here's what GPU-Z 2.50.0 reports.

Name:
"Intel(R) Arc (TM) A750 Graphics"

Device ID:
8086 56A1-8086 1021

Happy to provide more information if needed.

Thanks!

At this time the Intel ARC GPUs can not be added as they do not provide support for double precision calculations that is usable currently for folding. A question about Intel ARC GPUs was asked here - viewtopic.php?t=38527. Further explanations were provided in that topic.

Thanks for the reply, and color me disappointed. Maybe it'll find it's way back to the shop...

If Intel improvs the drivers sufficiently that the emulated double precision works well enough, then the A750 and other ARC based consumer GPUs should get added. But for now Intel is only implementing the double precision in hardware for the high end cards going into compute servers. Intel used to have double precision on all of its iGPUs, then removed it when they started the Xe series of GPU chips.
