Known Issues & Fixes

Issue Solution / Fix
Some users reported stock shortages for months after launch due to high demand for its price-to-performance ratio. Not fixable; a supply and demand issue at launch. Check Intel's official retailer list for restock availability.
A number of owners with older CPU platforms (lacking Resizable BAR support) reported reduced performance. Enable Resizable BAR (or SAM) in your motherboard's BIOS; Arc GPUs rely on it more heavily than competing architectures for full performance.
