Arc A380 vs Radeon RX 570: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A380 vs Radeon RX 570
The Arc A380 and Radeon RX 570 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.
Price & Value
The Arc A380 currently lists from $28,512 JPY, $20,261 JPY less than the Radeon RX 570 at $48,773 JPY. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A380 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 71%. The Arc A380 still sits about $28,373 JPY above its $139 JPY MSRP. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $48,604 JPY above its $169 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 75W against 150W, 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.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Arc A380 carries 6GB versus 4GB on the Radeon RX 570. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A380 is roughly 5 years newer than the Radeon RX 570 (Alchemist vs GCN 4.0 (Polaris)), 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 Radeon RX 570 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 A380 or Radeon RX 570?
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 Radeon RX 570 if you find it at a steep discount.
