Radeon RX 6700 XT vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 6700 XT vs Arc A380

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is dramatically faster, around 300% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6700 XT is comfortable at 1080p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The Arc A380 currently lists from $170 CAD, $591 CAD less than the Radeon RX 6700 XT at $761 CAD. Despite being slower, the Arc A380 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~12% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 6700 XT still sits about $282 CAD above its $479 CAD MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the Arc A380 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 230W. The Radeon RX 6700 XT is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 230W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 6700 XT 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.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 6700 XT 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 RX 6700 XT?

Choose the Radeon RX 6700 XT if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc A380 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 6700 XT better than the Arc A380?

The Radeon RX 6700 XT is dramatically faster, roughly 300% ahead. The Arc A380 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc A380 or the Radeon RX 6700 XT?

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

Is the Radeon RX 6700 XT worth the extra $591 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 Radeon RX 6700 XT 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.
