Arc B570 vs GeForce RTX 2060: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc B570 vs GeForce RTX 2060
The Arc B570 is significantly faster, around 31% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Arc B570 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce RTX 2060 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 2060 currently lists from $1,400 BRL, $1,204 BRL less than the Arc B570 at $2,604 BRL. Despite being slower, the GeForce RTX 2060 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~42% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce RTX 2060 still sits about $1,051 BRL above its $349 BRL MSRP. The Arc B570 still sits about $2,385 BRL above its $219 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 150W against 160W, the Arc B570 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Battlemage architecture on a TSMC N5 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
VRAM favors the Arc B570 at 10GB versus 6GB on the GeForce RTX 2060 — that extra 4GB matters most at 4K, with high-res texture packs, and for content-creation/local-AI work.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc B570 is roughly 6 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2060 (Battlemage vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc B570 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce RTX 2060 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 B570 or GeForce RTX 2060?
Choose the Arc B570 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce RTX 2060 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
