Hi there! Your friend's CPU is an Intel i5-9500, which is a decent processor. To check if it supports an Intel Arc GPU, you can look at its specifications or test compatibility with the GPU he’s considering. Let me know if you need help interpreting the details!

Even with ReBar, Intel GPUs remain questionable investments. They often face driver problems, poor performance, and crashes—far from the reliability of AMD options. I don’t see much value in using an Intel GPU as a primary system, especially since Intel doesn’t rely on widespread support or crowdfunding.

He’s interested in purchasing it because they’re more recent and affordable within the budget he’s considering for GPUs.

Unless your friend loves working with his setup as much as he plays on it, there’s really no need to pick an Intel GPU right now. You’re essentially testing beta if you’re using an Intel Arc card. AMD’s 6000 series offers good value and lacks worries about game compatibility or unstable drivers. The Arc A750 matches the RX 6600 in performance, and currently both are priced similarly in the US. Switching to AMD is clearly the best move. The main perks of Arc cards are improved XeSS and ray tracing, but game support for XeSS is limited, and at this speed ray tracing isn’t a top priority.
