Hi Brian

MMS 2024 and 2023 should work with the Intel Arc a770, providing it is selected as the GPU for the Import, Processing and Export options in the program settings, Device options tab.

Export times will depend on the video format/resolution - eg 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 exporting as AV1 or HEVC require significantly more 'horsepower' than FullHd 1920 x 1080 AV1, HEVC or 4KUHD h.264/AVC, which in themselves require more 'horsepower' than FullHD h.264/AVC encoded.

However - certain effects applied to the video formats stated above are processed using the CPU and are not hardware accelerated on the GPU's, irespective of the Device options settings.

You may find this article interesting.

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

Scroll down to "Key Takeaways". Not very flattering for the ARCs. Magix does work well with NVidia GPUs, that is certain.

There's some interesting info on GPU performance coming out in this topic (no ARC info, unfortunately):

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.

I know this is a little late but:-

Last April I was considering buying the Intel ARC 770 and opened a topic here https://www.magix.info/us/forum/upgrading-my-computer-again--1333778/?page=1

In it I mention that I emailed Magix support asking them about their tests with MS2024, Intel GPUs and Nvidia GPUs. In an attempt to encourage them to answer I did mention that I suspected they couldn't really comment and give suggestions.

Their reply was "As you say, we don't usually give advice on hardware. What I can say is that we have done the best performance tests with INTEL cards, followed by NVIDIA cards" so I was all set to buy the Intel ARC 770.

However, my son gave me his "old" Nvidia RTX 4060 and so I obviously saved a few pennies and didn't get the Intel.

Intel update their drivers at least once a month, I've found a noticeable improvement with my UHD770 GPU chip on my CPU - it's much more stable.

I only use my computer for video/music editing and similar activities; no gaming.
