+The Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition is one of Intel's first consumer standalone graphics cards. The driver support for X86 is... okay at best right now. And for ARM64, nonexistent.
+
+Physically, it requires a x16 PCIe socket. You will need to supply about 225W to the card directly through it's 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power plugs.
+
+### i915 Open Source Driver
+
+To get the i915 driver loaded, you have to [recompile the Linux kernel for Pi OS](https://github.com/geerlingguy/raspberry-pi-pcie-devices/tree/master/extras/cross-compile) on the 6.2 branch (`rpi-6.2.y`) or later.
+
+Go to `Device Drivers` > `Graphics support` on the `menuconfig` step, and select the `i915` driver to install.
+
+...unfortunately, at this time, that driver only supports X86 systems, so it isn't able to be selected if cross-compiling for ARM.
+
+See the linked GitHub issue for more details.
