Overall the Arc Graphics A580 was offering good Linux performance in the sub-$200 space and backed with open-source mainline drivers.

Xonotic benchmark with settings of Resolution: 1920 x 1080, Effects Quality: Ultimate. Arc A770 was the fastest.
yquake2 benchmark with settings of Renderer: Vulkan, AF: On, MSAA: On, Resolution: 1920 x 1080. Arc A770 was the fastest.
yquake2 benchmark with settings of Renderer: OpenGL 3.x, AF: On, MSAA: On, Resolution: 1920 x 1080. Arc A770 was the fastest.

The OpenGL and Vulkan support was both in good shape for Arc Graphics DG2/Alchemist and will evolve quite nicely once the new Xe DRM kernel driver is mainlined. There's also other features on the horizon like the Vulkan sparse support that works with the i915 kernel driver.
