>sub $1000 workstation GPU with 5090 VRAM capacitySo is this thing as good as everyone is making it out to be. it sounds tempting to get one myself. i'm just so scared of intel's drivers and cuda being practically mandatory to do anything.
>>108545741you've just save yourself the troublebeing inlel means waiting months for developers to finally give a fuck about your platform
>>108545841we need to unshackle the world from cuda. it's going to turn Nvidia into a dystopian super power that controls entire governments.
>>108545853>controls entire governments.It already does retard
>>108545853>going to
>>108545741Intel for workstations is actually incredible and OneAPI support on Linux is flawless.Still waiting on the mythical Pro B60 Dual
>>108545853Anon....
>>108545741In the EU this thing costs like €1300-1400 with VAT included.
>>108545741does pytorch even support this garbage?
>>108550912does it? can't even get it in the UK, but if it's Radeon Pro R9700 territory, which I thought was faster
>>108550959At least in Sweden: 14,363.00 SEK (with VAT) or 11,490.40 SEK (without VAT), which is €1,303.4/£1,137.88 respectively €1,042.9/£910.31. In Germany it's €1,271.55 with VAT and €1,068.53 without.https://www.proshop.se/Grafikkort/Intel-Arc-Pro-B70-Reference-Design-32GB-GDDR6-RAM-Grafikkort/3453522https://www.proshop.de/Grafikkarte/Intel-Arc-Pro-B70-Reference-Design-32GB-GDDR6-RAM-Grafikkarte/3453522
>everything's fucking gay vram and no hashing performance at allAI was a mistake. My usecase is in tatters.
>they canceled the B770/B780 for this>scalpers took them all
>>108545741Paper launch? Who would have predicted that? I bet the scalpers have bought them all and being niggerlicious as always. Until I can buy it at a reasonable price, it doesn't exist.
>>108550926Nvidia shills fuming. Yes it does, but you knew that, didn’t you?
>>108550959Okay, was checking some other stores and it's just those scammers over at ProShop which are charing extortionate prices. Other retailers such as Inet will just charge 11,890.00 SEK with VAT and 9,512.00 SEK without (€1,080.17 and €863.98 respectively). It seems like it is not available anywhere in Europe yet.https://www.inet.se/produkt/5416014/intel-arc-pro-b70-32gb
>>108551222Well, sold out for the moment at least.
>>108545741If it's anything like AMD with Rocm then you better prepare for months of wait for anything to work, and then also needing to use special flags to do any AI shit with it.>>108545853I remember reading about a project meant to try and bring Cuda to Intel and AMD through a compatability layer, but I'm not sure if Nvidia assassins got them yet.
>>108545741Someone on this board had an intel arc for AI on Linux and it worked really well.
I'm very tempted
>>108545841>waiting months for developers to finally give a fuck about your platformThe waiting is over already, actuallyIntel put a shitload of money into getting torch working well on ArcWith that, pretty much everything else that matters works nowt. Pro B50 owner
When are they gonna uncancel their next gen consumer GPUs and bring out the B780?
>>108551583Based. I have one in my work machine, pretty nice for 70W and board powered.
>>108551628>I have one in my work machineExactly the purpose of mine
>>108551583Is it significantly better than ROCm?
>>108555122>drop $1000 to find out
>>108545841intel arc had better blender support day one than amd after 20 years.
>>108545853>implying they're not the samedo you take the israeli flavored blue pill or the taiwanese flavored red pill, anon
>>108557926We really needed a third player on the GPU market. I hope that they don't put Mossad backdoor into their GPUs like in their CPUs.
>>108545741Intel needs to release drivers so I can use this as an eGPU with my Mac mini.
>>108545841My dad also works for Nintendo
>>108545741It's so weird to see an intel gpu that isn't intel hd graphics from shitty laptops.
>>108545853ZLUDA save us
>>108545741
>>108562078what is the AI performance in comparison to a 5090 look like.
If the only use I have for local AI is pornographic, isn't pretty much every vendor supported in kobold/llama and comfyUI? i'm sure cuda is invaluable a billion things I have no interest in, but for the general consoomer are intel or AMD valid choices in 2026?
>>108562078>BlenderFuck off.
>>108551528Nobody actually buys thatStop being a contrarian and buy a used 3090 instead
>>108562533kys
>>108551583name things that mattersI cant imagine intel paying that much people to flood all repo to completely keep up with all the grassroot and research contributors
Can't wait for these to be secondhand, cheap, and with all the kinks and support worked out.>>108545841>monthsOh no!>>108551583>The waiting is over already, actuallyReally? Nice.
>>108545853>we need to unshackle the world from judah. it's going to turn israel into a dystopian super power that controls entire governments.
>>108551119>GB203 sized GPU silicon with GB206 levels of gaming performance Intel would lose money trying to sell a 16GB B770 for $449-499 or whatever. At best they'll sell it as a LE card with one manufacturing run.
>>108562545you first tourist.
>>108562436>i-it doesn't count!KEK
>>108562640When it comes to anything other than Windows, suddenly everyone is an Adobe user.When it comes to anything other than Nvidia, suddenly everybody is a Blender user.It's a shit metric to go by, especially since the most cutting edge feature Blender has is EEVEE, which is live rendering, so why is cycles time even a factor?
>>108562602You looked around? Nvidia shills aren't welcome on this board. You're the actual tourist.
not having cuda sucks ass. nobody develops anything for anyone else and the stuff that exists is half ass and has like 1 person working on it
>>108562741https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/notes/get_start_xpu.html
>>108562741Not having CUDA usually means you are forced to do things the correct way. This is a good thing.
