It's okay that those cards are reviewed according to their current state. They are pretty bad. But that doesn't mean the second or third generation of those cards has to be bad, when they remove the resizable bar requirement (so they can be used in older systems) and improve the drivers. DXVK would be a great route, but I doubt Intel can push this on a driver level - it would be more of a Steam or Windows thing.
I assume those cards will be a great option for Linux systems soon, where DXVK is the default anyway. It's good to have an alternative to AMD.
