Arc A380 vs GeForce GTX TITAN Z: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Arc A380 vs GeForce GTX TITAN Z

The Arc A380 is significantly faster, around 20% ahead of the GeForce GTX TITAN Z. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The Arc A380 currently lists from $190 CAD, $908 CAD less than the GeForce GTX TITAN Z at $1,098 CAD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A380 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 594%. The GeForce GTX TITAN Z is trading below its $2,999 CAD MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

At 75W against 375W, the Arc A380 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce GTX TITAN Z carries 12GB versus 6GB on the Arc A380. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Generation & Longevity

The Arc A380 is roughly 8 years newer than the GeForce GTX TITAN Z (Alchemist vs Kepler), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce GTX TITAN Z 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 GTX TITAN Z?

The Arc A380 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 GTX TITAN Z if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arc A380 better than the GeForce GTX TITAN Z?

The Arc A380 is significantly faster, roughly 20% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc A380 or the GeForce GTX TITAN Z?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the GeForce GTX TITAN Z worth the extra $908 CAD over the Arc A380?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Arc A380 comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce GTX TITAN Z have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 12GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
