I also got an Intel ARC 750 to try and what can I say…
Card doesn’t fit into the third slot (and obviously doesn’t fit into bottom one), battery is in the way. Probably that can be solved by using a raiser cable, however it fits into second (PCIe x8 on Altra).
About driver, ARC 750 is not supported by Xe kernel module (officially) so I needed to add:
xe.force_probe='56a1' and i915.force_probe='!56a1'
to the kernel (kernel 6.9.0@master from 2 days ago with PCIe patches)
but it then fails to initialize:
