Modder Runs GeForce RTX 4060 on Huawei Arm Workstation Using Modified Driver
Key points
- First successful GPU integration on Arm Windows 11
- Modder used a driver from Nvidia's RTX Spark
- Limited gaming performance due to hardware constraints
Successful GPU Integration
VoidTech, a Chinese modder, is the first to run a GeForce RTX 4060 with Windows 11 on an Arm-based platform.
This achievement is notable as it demonstrates the potential for discrete GPU capabilities on non-x86 architectures.
Hardware Details
The modding experiment utilized a Huawei Qingyun W510 workstation, which features a Kunpeng 920 CPU made by Huawei's HiSilicon.
This CPU, introduced in 2019, contains 24 cores, but is limited in gaming performance compared to high-end x86 processors like the Ryzen 9 9700X.
Performance Results
The RTX 4060 managed to run demanding games including Black Myth Wukong and Genshin Impact well, indicating partial compatibility.
Despite the success in running graphics-heavy applications, overall gaming performance is hindered by the Kunpeng CPU's architectural limitations.
Implications for the Future
This development hints at broader possibilities for GPU support in Arm-based systems, especially as the industry moves toward more integrated solutions.
However, the significant performance disparity between Arm and x86 architectures will likely continue to pose challenges.
