Arc A770 vs GeForce RTX 2070: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A770 vs GeForce RTX 2070
The Arc A770 is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2070. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc A770 currently lists from $3,102 BRL, $3,243 BRL less than the GeForce RTX 2070 at $6,345 BRL. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A770 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 173%. The Arc A770 still sits about $2,773 BRL above its $329 BRL MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2070 still sits about $5,846 BRL above its $499 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce RTX 2070 is the gentler choice at 175W versus 225W. The Arc A770 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 225W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Arc A770 carries 16GB versus 8GB on the GeForce RTX 2070. The extra 8GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2070 (Alchemist vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A770 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce RTX 2070 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 A770 or GeForce RTX 2070?
The Arc A770 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce RTX 2070 if you find it at a steep discount.
