GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER vs Arc A380
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 617% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A380 starts at $170 CAD against $1,149 CAD for the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 6%. The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER still sits about $550 CAD above its $599 CAD MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A380 pulls less power (75W vs 220W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 12GB against 6GB, the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A380's 6GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is roughly 2 years newer than the Arc A380 (Ada Lovelace vs Alchemist), 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 RTX 4070 SUPER 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 4070 SUPER?
The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Arc A380 if you find it at a steep discount.
