GeForce RTX 2080 vs Arc B570: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 vs Arc B570

The GeForce RTX 2080 is noticeably faster, around 10% ahead of the Arc B570. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.

Price & Value

The Arc B570 currently lists from $299, $385 less than the GeForce RTX 2080 at $684. Despite being slower, the Arc B570 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~109% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Arc B570 still sits about $80 above its $219 MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

At 150W against 225W, the Arc B570 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Arc B570 carries 10GB versus 8GB on the GeForce RTX 2080. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Generation & Longevity

The Arc B570 is roughly 7 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 B570 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 B570?

Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc B570 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce RTX 2080 better than the Arc B570?

The GeForce RTX 2080 is noticeably faster, roughly 10% ahead. The Arc B570 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce RTX 2080 or the Arc B570?

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 GeForce RTX 2080 worth the extra $385 over the Arc B570?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Arc B570 comes out ahead.

Does the Arc B570 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 10GB (vs 8GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
