Radeon RX 7800 XT vs Arc B570: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 7800 XT vs Arc B570

The Radeon RX 7800 XT is dramatically faster, around 118% ahead of the Arc B570. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 7800 XT is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc B570 is better matched to 1080p.

Price & Value

The Arc B570 currently lists from $330 CAD, $358 CAD less than the Radeon RX 7800 XT at $688 CAD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 7800 XT wins on performance-per-dollar. The Arc B570 still sits about $111 CAD above its $219 CAD MSRP. The Radeon RX 7800 XT still sits about $189 CAD above its $499 CAD MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the Arc B570 is the gentler choice at 150W versus 263W. The Radeon RX 7800 XT is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 263W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon RX 7800 XT carries 16GB versus 10GB on the Arc B570. The extra 6GB 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 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 7800 XT (Battlemage vs RDNA 3), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the Arc B570 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 7800 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 B570 or Radeon RX 7800 XT?

The Radeon RX 7800 XT is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Arc B570 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 7800 XT better than the Arc B570?

The Radeon RX 7800 XT is dramatically faster, roughly 118% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc B570 or the Radeon RX 7800 XT?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1440p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 7800 XT worth the extra $358 CAD over the Arc B570?

Often yes — despite the higher price the Radeon RX 7800 XT delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the Radeon RX 7800 XT have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 16GB (vs 10GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
