Intel Arc A770 PCIe - Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1

Hi Intel,

lspci reports PCIe 1.0/x1 for the GPU (56a0) and bridge downstream port (4fa4). The upstream port reports the bandwidth correctly at PCIe4.0/16.

I am running Arc A770 on Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 5.17.0-1020-oem with all recommended Intel drivers + linux-firmware.git copied over /lib/firmware. Without copying linux-firmware, the system hangs on boot in text mode. I have seen similar tickets about PCIe 1.0/x1, but I decided to raise this one to stress that the bug reproduces for supported installations too.

I suspect a card  firmware issue here so I am not sure about my step of copying over latest linux-firmware.git, If I do not then Ubuntu 22.04 + Arc 770 will not boot into GUI mode.

On the bright the desktop is rendering correctly and is fast, so I am pretty satisfied. I reckon the card is actually running in PCIe 4.0/16 mode and the issue is with reporting only (quick OpenCL experiments show 17-18GB/s bandwidth over PCIe).

 

Many thanks.

Piotr

Hello pioto123,

 

We hope you are doing fine.

 

We have not heard back from you. So we will close this thread. If you need any additional information, submit a new question, as this thread will no longer be monitored.

 

Best regards.

I found the same issue with it reporting x1, and did a similar experiment with the 'Memory Bandwidth' benchmark in xpu-smi:

 

 

xpu-smi diag -d 0 --singletest 5

 

 

In my case, it said it failed (pretty sure it's fine though) but still reported 11.108 GBPS which makes sense for PCIe 3.0 x16 + overhead (which is correct).

Just wanted to add the benchmark for other people's piece of mind.


Thanks,
Steve
