Arc A380 vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A380 vs GeForce GTX 980 Ti
The Arc A380 and GeForce GTX 980 Ti post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.
Power & Efficiency
At 75W against 250W, the Arc A380 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A380 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 Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce GTX 980 Ti offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. 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 A380 or GeForce GTX 980 Ti?
The Arc A380 is the faster card. 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.
