Hello Atlasstorm,

Thank you for waiting!

We have an article called Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics – Desktop Quick Start Guide: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000091128/graphics.html

Where we show some supported hardware configurations for the Arc™ A-Series Graphics cards (This also applies to the Pro series). Based on the specifications of your motherboard, it has a full-size PCI Express 3.0 x16 which is compatible with this GPU however, as we mention in the article, in order to get optimal performance in all applications using this GPU it is required to enable Resizable BAR or Smart Access Memory.

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm if your motherboard supports this technology or how to enable it since each motherboard manufacturer owns the BIOS/UEFI implementation. In this case, we recommend you contact the original equipment manufacturer of your motherboard for further support.

Best regards,
