Something that is also cool with these cards is proper SR-IOV without hassle. Arc pro cards make for nice graphical acceleration devices for vms. I know ai gets all the hype but I also appreciate being able to accelerate multiple workstations with a single gpu and still get decent frametimes.

I bought an Arc A770 expecting that this feature would materialise based on it being available on other contemporary Intel GPUs, but it never did.

Does the B70 definitely support SR-IOV from day one?

I have unfortunately only confirmed 24 VFs on an Asrock Creator B60 Pro, later nerfed to 8 VFs after an intel update. I think someone tested the B70 Pro on the Level1Tech forums. I might consider buying a B70 myself just to confirm it.
The B50 certainly does. So Likely same for B70.
