Arc B570 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc B570 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
The Arc B570 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to 1080p gaming.
Price & Value
The Arc B570 currently lists from $256 EUR, $12 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at $268 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc B570 wins on performance-per-dollar. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is trading below its $699 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
At 150W against 250W, the Arc B570 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Battlemage architecture on a TSMC N5 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti carries 11GB versus 10GB on the Arc B570. The extra 1GB 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 8 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Battlemage vs Pascal), 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 GeForce GTX 1080 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 B570 or GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?
The Arc B570 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.
