Has anyone ordered (or already have?) the new Intel Arc B580 Battlemage GPU that released on 13. December 2024?
I'd love to hear from you. Does it run VAM 1.x without problems and glitches?

It seems for 'normal' games almost all previously existing driver bugs that plagued the previous Arc Axxx-generation (Alchemist) are solved.
However VAM and VR is a bit exotic. I'm still concerned about weird remaining driver bugs.
I'm considering to buy an Intel Arc B580 GPU in ca. 7 weeks if it can run VAM 1.x without problems, if it can run SDXL in InvokeAI (It cannot yet) and if the prices are not ruined by scalpers.
Many 'IFs' ...
I know for performance it should be a PCI-Express 4.0 system with Resizable BAR enabled because of the limited 8 PCI-Express data-lanes, that's no problem for me ... but potentially a bandwidth problem for users of older PCI-Express 3.0-systems.
Price-to-performance wise the B580 is a steal compared to all other options. I'd actually like to pay more for a variant with more than 12 GB VRAM (for AI, not games).
EDIT 9. Feb. 2025:
Decided against buying the B580 for now. Mainly because the lack of CUDA support for AI software. Still would like to hear how it would perform with VAM in case someone gets this GPU.
