[Bug/Feature Request] Erroneous REBAR support warning on older systems - add setting to disable?

Horsemeatburger — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 15:49:52 GMT

I'm currently doing some testing using an Arc A750 in an older Ivy Bridge EP system and found the card performs surprisingly well in a number of benchmarks and games, also compared to a Nvidia RTX 2060 Super.

What's annoying, though, is the "please enable REBAR support for full performance" message that shows up on every boot, despite the fact that this system doesn't support REBAR. What's worse, the Arc Control utility claims that REBAR is supported on my system, despite the fact that it isn't.

While I understand that, on newer systems, it makes sense to tell the user to enable REBAR to get the best possible performance from the card, it's very annoying on older systems which don't support REBAR, and it seems the driver isn't even able to correctly detect when this is the case (there's also the potential to scare away users who bought an Arc card for an older system, which may the card end up being returned).

It would therefore be great if intel could add a setting in Arc Control which allows the user to disable the REBAR warnings.

System: HP z620 workstation (XEON E5-2667 v2 Ivy Bridge EP, 64GB 4x16GB DDR3 ECC Registered RAM, 1.92TB Micron 7300 U.2 NVMe SSD, latest BIOS which is 2.96).

GPU: intel Arc A750 8GB

Arc Driver version: 31.0.101.4502

OS: Windows 11 22H2
