I just recently acquired a budget Intel Arc A310. It's meant for non-gaming purposes, and I intend to use it as a media encoder for AV1. I have tried like mad to get it to work via GPU passthrough but have had little luck. Even in my Windows 11 VM, it sees the card, but it keeps disabling it due to driver issues.
I'm REALLY hoping that the next update or two, we can get some Intel Arc support as a lot of folks are itching to take advantage of its low cost and incredible media capabilities.
