When there’s too little competition it makes proprietary APIs much more viable. Maybe, but I actually think it might go the other way around. Vulkan is a universal standard for nvidia and AM to adhere to, Intel not so much, Intel wants their own, much like 3dfx did with glide.

More competition can also lead to different standards. I hope Intel takes a breather, and allows the Arc team to be in it for the long haul, so that we as consumers can benefit from more choice in the near future. I really hope those rumours are wrong or overblown, since the GPU market desperately needs a 3rd serious competitor. There’s a lot of chatter that Intel might axe Arc completely, before it’s really truly out of the gate.

And while the company is making some efforts to own those problems, a combination of performance issues, timing, and financial pressures could threaten Arc’s future. Regardless of the company’s plans for future architectures, Arc’s launch has been messy. Breaking into a mature market is difficult, and experience with integrated GPUs isn’t always applicable to dedicated GPUs with more complex hardware and their own pool of memory. But the challenges of entering the GPU market haven’t changed since the late 2000s. Larrabee was canceled late in its development because of delays and disappointing performance, and Arc GPUs are actual things that you can buy (if only in a limited way, for now). Im 16 so i might have some mistakes then and there.All of that makes Arc a lot more serious than Larrabee, Intel’s last effort to break into the dedicated graphics market.

(shown below) so again I do not know if i have to downgrade to windows 8 or i can use a completely new driver, I would refer if i could continue to windows 10 and 8 and below prevent me from doing much more than the driver not working. I noticed that there were no drivers available for Windows 10.

When i go to to try and download the driver i currently use to try and get it up to date that way instead of trying to update it through 'driver updating software'.Me not having this up to date driver is preventing me from playing games on my computer. I dont know if i have to go back down to windows 8 just to get my driver to work, or if i can maybe download a different driver that would work the same as a normal windows 10 driver.
