Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs Arc A380
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is dramatically faster, around 589% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is comfortable at 4K and high-refresh 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A380 starts at $213 against $1,873 for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Despite being slower, the Arc A380 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~28% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX still sits about $874 above its $999 MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A380 pulls less power (75W vs 355W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon RX 7900 XTX draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 24GB against 3GB, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A380's 3GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX brings AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value, while the Arc A380 offers Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: Radeon RX 7900 XTX or Arc A380?
Choose the Radeon RX 7900 XTX 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.
