Question is what rails does that power reporting include.
To get accurate TBP the card needs to have accurate digital PWMs on all major rails + accurate estimation of the remaining rails. Many GPUs report only GPU (core) power.
this is direct from the nvidia driver, which reports from the card itself, just as your Intel card was doing. it's reporting total board power, NOT just GPU core power. it's reasonably accurate. surely not off by any factor where say 135W reported = 150W actual or anything like that.
from the nvidia-smi guide:
"Power Draw The last measured power draw for the entire board, in watts. Only available if power
management is supported. This reading is accurate to within +/- 5 watts"
I have an Asrock Arc B580 card on order which I can still cancel if there are showstopper problems.
The worst thing I see from your initial results is that at the moment the card has already scored one inconclusive out of four results that have been compared with partners. This could be an early hint that the card produces some results which differ too much from some of the commonly used cards to be accepted as valid. Need bigger numbers to tell.
Any additional information would be welcome. I assume you so far have run 1X multiplicity. Is the GPU loading low enough to invite the possibility that 2X might be substantially more productive?
Subjectively, how loud are the fans?
Were there any difficulties in getting it up and running in your Windows system? Driver availability?
Have you observed the card to behave well or poorly with any monitoring and control applications?

i wouldnt worry about that. if you inspect the wingman, you'll see he's running the custom CUDA optimized Linux app, which gives some invalids. more than likely the wingman will be marked as invalid. BRP7 historically has had issues with validation across platforms since it seems particularly sensitive in the way it's compiled on each platform.
I'm going to run a couple more tasks now to see the results.
Note, that I have now connected the PCIe riser for PMD to measure slot power. I haven't tested this riser yet and if it has some issues with signal integrity, it could produce invalid results or WHEA errors, so if there are problems, it might be due to the riser. Will see..
I haven't observed any instability yet (thought haven't run any torturing tests yet) but I'm sure the drivers will be improved over time, maybe they will improve computing performance as well. Currently the GPU load reported is ~97-100%, so running more than 1 WU might not be a good option.
This is the Intel Limited Edition card, I got it several weeks ago and it isn't a retail model, so I wouldn't consider this combination as "reference" but it should be quite close. Fans are quiet, max temperature 70 C, which is very nice. Didn't observe any issues getting it up and that was weeks ago. My overall feeling is positive. Sure, this SKU isn't a beast, but rather a neat, efficient and solid performing card. I think Intel made a big advance in the 3rd generation (if I count the DG1 as the first gen, which was a pain to work with :))
It behaves great in HWiNFO especially :D We sorted out a few minor issues with Intel and from my perspective the cooperation is also very good.

HWInfo, GPU-Z, Afterburner, TThrottle ...?
Thanks for any info.
You can always get some of the latest drivers here:
I have an ASRock STEEL LEGEND Arc B580 12GB GDDR6 GPU card at the packaging stage.
While I realize this is too low a performance card to interest the hard-core players here, and too expensive to compete with used Internet scrapings. I think it is possible that mid-range users might find it interesting, most likely on a machine they user for other purposes than just Einstein. My aim will be to provide enough information to help them decide whether they are interested.
Around the time I was notified that my pre-order had been converted to an order this morning, NewEgg advised me that the true Intel card was back in stock. That did not last long, as it is back to out-of-stock status.
My news feed claims that more vendors will be making other versions of this card available today.
I want Intel or someone to make a go of penetrating the consumer GPU market.
It sounds like battlemage has a much better chance than alchemist did.

Note sure if there are shorter units coming but now a WU takes ~485 secs.
How many Brp7/meerKat tasks are you running at the same time?

AFAIK, reviews should be out today.
