GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Intel Arc A370M: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Intel Arc A370M
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is significantly faster, around 25% ahead of the Intel Arc A370M. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 980 Ti starts at $635 CAD against $1,792 CAD for the Intel Arc A370M.
Power & Efficiency
The Intel Arc A370M draws just 50W versus 250W for the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 6GB against 4GB, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Intel Arc A370M's 4GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Intel Arc A370M is roughly 7 years newer than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti (Alchemist vs Maxwell), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Intel Arc A370M 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 GTX 980 Ti or Intel Arc A370M?
The GeForce GTX 980 Ti is the faster card by about 25%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
