Just a quick note requesting Intel Arc Pro Battlemage series B50 and B60 kernel and driver support for local AI and transcoding, along with noting I fully understand that this will take time and I'm sure there will be dependencies.
Embargo lift coming shortly with Linux details: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-arc-pro-b-series

May already be supported via a recent kernel update or may be quickly supported via future similar kernel updates. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/7.1.0/

Hello, good!

I have an Intel arc pro b50

Unraid OS 7.2-Beta.2

And it puts me:

Intel_gpu_top

No device filter specified and no discrete/integrated i915 devices found

Intel_gpu_top -L

card0 Intel Battlemage (Gen20) pci:vendor=8086,device=E212,card=0

└─renderD128

Any solution?

Intel GPU top does not work with XE driver needed for the card.

Have a look at this thread. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/193523-hardware-transcode-i915-driver-vs-xe/#findComment-1578648

You may need to enable XE driver for you card.

+1 for this request, it looks like Linux Kernel 6.14 would be needed for XE, 6.17 for SR-IOV.

@SimonF , any idea when it looks like Unraid will move will move up to Linux Kernel 6.14?

It is going to depend on when the next LTS Linux kernel is released (which as far as I know does not have a date) as Unraid only uses LTS kernel releases.

Oh! Neat, I didn't know. Well hopefully soon because I have one of these and I'm sorta raring to get it running...

6.18 is likely to be the next LTS, I don't know a timeframe for use in Unraid at this time.

+1... purchased b580 for unraid server ... was hoping support would have been a bit further along being the card has been out for almost a year now... kinda already knew it wouldn't work great at the current point in time but got a really good black Friday deal on one and couldn't pass it up ...

6.18 should be out, is there a timeframe now?
I'm thinking to buy a B60 but I need this before

Edited February 3Feb 3 by PilaScat

It should be in 7.3 when that release is out.

Bought a B60 today and crying that I can't start playing with it, please tell me 7.3 is coming out by the time I refresh this page?

the beta is out. Mind sharing your experience?

I am running on 7.3.0 rc1 it works to transcode and in VM's but it reports as a 1x card but when I do other tests AIDA64 it looks like it's running at Gen5 x8 26.9 GB/s on read. But there is no GPU stats what do ever bar fan speed.

I'm pretty sure that's a bug with those GPUs, they report the wrong speed. I remember seeing that mentioned before.

Correct.

Reporting back..
7.3.0 rc1,

B60 24gb is working with SR-IOV (latest firmware caps it at 7 devices, older firmware was 24)
Passthrough to dockers for AI (Ollama/etc) are working with --device=/dev/dri
intel_gpu_top doesnt work but the Nvtop command does, but is missing some info.
LSPCI reports as G3x1, but nvtop reports G3x8 for bandwidth. (Mb limited to G3x16). not sure how to test?
I did need to do a firmware update for the GPU, this was made more difficult as whole device passthrough to a windows WM would not work, and I did not have a windows PC easily accessible to update it on. Persisted and eventually used this tool, https://github.com/Solaris17/ARC-Firmware-Tool
and the latest firmware from the reportsitory.
If you can throw the card in a windows box and update it it's 1000x easier.

Jorge, did you need to do anything special? Tried RC1 a few days ago and could not get it working.

Was this specifically for getting firmware to let you us SR-IOV?

the card would not detect correclty or passthrough to dockers via /dev/dri when it was running the old firmware. SR-IOV did 'work' showing multiple (24) vGPU's, but i didnt physically try them.
After the firmware update its now 7

GPU Stats is limited on XE I am working on integrating qmassa

WIP So far for XE - Question mark is NVTOP. Working on Bus sizes and bar usage. Hoping to have an initial release this weekend.

With Ollama running SpaceInvaderOne Testing

Give release 2026.05.08 a try for XE additional stats. This is the initial release and may need tweaks going forward.
