Arc A770 vs Radeon RX 5700: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A770 vs Radeon RX 5700
The Arc A770 is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A770 starts at $328 EUR against $390 EUR for the Radeon RX 5700. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A770 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 58%.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon RX 5700 pulls less power (180W vs 225W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Arc A770 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 8GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 5700's 8GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 3 years newer than the Radeon RX 5700 (Alchemist vs RDNA), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A770 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 5700 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 A770 or Radeon RX 5700?
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 Radeon RX 5700 if you find it at a steep discount.
