Arc A770 vs GeForce RTX 2080: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Arc A770 vs GeForce RTX 2080

The Arc A770 is significantly faster, around 22% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2080. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Arc A770 is comfortable at 1440p, while the GeForce RTX 2080 is better matched to 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Arc A770 starts at $550 against $684 for the GeForce RTX 2080. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A770 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 51%. The Arc A770 still sits about $221 above its $329 MSRP.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 16GB against 8GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 2080's 8GB can fall short.

Generation & Longevity

The Arc A770 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080, so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2080 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Arc A770 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: GeForce RTX 2080 or Arc A770?

the Arc A770 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 RTX 2080 if you find it at a steep discount.
