Arc A380 vs Arc A310: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Arc A380 vs Arc A310

The Arc A380 is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the Arc A310. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Arc A380 packs 1,024 shading units versus 768 on the Arc A310. The Arc A380 also has more RT cores (8 vs 6) and more AI cores (128 vs 96), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.

Price & Value

Right now the Arc A310 starts at $25,439 JPY against $28,512 JPY for the Arc A380. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A380 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 34%. The Arc A310 still sits about $25,309 JPY above its $130 JPY MSRP. The Arc A380 still sits about $28,373 JPY above its $139 JPY MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

The Arc A310 draws just 30W versus 75W for the Arc A380, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 6GB against 4GB, the Arc A380 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A310's 4GB can fall short. The Arc A380's memory is also faster — 186 GB/s versus 124 GB/s (96-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Which should you buy: Arc A310 or Arc A380?

The Arc A380 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 A310 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arc A380 better than the Arc A310?

The Arc A380 is dramatically faster, roughly 50% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc A310 or the Arc A380?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Arc A380 worth the extra $3,073 JPY over the Arc A310?

Often yes — despite the higher price the Arc A380 delivers better performance-per-dollar here.

Does the Arc A380 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 6GB (vs 4GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

Which is better for ray tracing, the Arc A380 or the Arc A310?

Both handle ray tracing, but the Arc A380 has more RT cores, giving it better ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance than the Arc A310.
