Arc A770 vs Arc A310: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A770 vs Arc A310
The Arc A770 is dramatically faster, around 400% ahead of the Arc A310. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Arc A770 is comfortable at 1080p, while the Arc A310 is better matched to entry-level 1080p. The Arc A770 packs 4,096 shading units versus 768 on the Arc A310. The Arc A770 also has more RT cores (32 vs 6) and more AI cores (512 vs 96), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
The Arc A310 currently lists from $25,439 JPY, $24,861 JPY less than the Arc A770 at $50,300 JPY. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A770 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 153%. The Arc A310 still sits about $25,309 JPY above its $130 JPY MSRP. The Arc A770 still sits about $49,971 JPY above its $329 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 30W against 225W, the Arc A310 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Arc A770 carries 16GB versus 4GB on the Arc A310. The extra 12GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The Arc A770's memory is also faster — 560 GB/s versus 124 GB/s (256-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Arc A310 or Arc A770?
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 Arc A310 if you find it at a steep discount.
