GeForce RTX 4080 vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4080 vs Arc A380
The GeForce RTX 4080 is dramatically faster, around 817% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4080 is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Arc A380 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 320W. The GeForce RTX 4080 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 320W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 4080 carries 16GB versus 6GB on the Arc A380. The extra 10GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce RTX 4080 offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: Arc A380 or GeForce RTX 4080?
The GeForce RTX 4080 is the faster card by about 817%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
