Arc A380 vs Radeon R9 380X: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A380 vs Radeon R9 380X
The Arc A380 is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the Radeon R9 380X. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
At 75W against 190W, the Arc A380 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon R9 380X carries 4GB versus 3GB on the Arc A380. The extra 1GB 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 7 years newer than the Radeon R9 380X, 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 Radeon R9 380X offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. 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 Radeon R9 380X?
the Arc A380 is the faster card by about 50%. 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.
