So I watched about 4 reviews:

DF and Linus gave the most positive reviews despite having a number of issues. DF's review was the most favoured as they redid their test suite with games that are mainly built around modern APIs and they love their Ray Tracing and Ai Upscaling which is where Arc is at their best. They did still put up warnings though and showed Asscreed Unity which ran in single digits at times... Linus showed more goods and bads but made a plea to experienced users to buy Arc if they can as we need a third player.

Dave2d is a bit more mixed with essentially a no as a recommendation even though he gave a pretty great speech as to why he wanted it to work but he ran into a lot of issues:

GNs was the most negative of the bunch with essentially a hard no. He had a ton of driver issues and the games benchmarked somewhere from good to shat. But the driver issues of "needing to boot into windows and installing Arc driver before the monitor would display anything" is a pretty bad sign but granted it didn't happen with all his monitors. Just some.

Overall though, really good in Ray Tracing titles. Good to decent in DX12 titles outside of the ones that are either stuttering or crashing. Horrible in DX11 or older titles outside of the ones they got around to optimizing. Has the potential to be a 3060 Ti but as GN says, never buy based on future potential.
