GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Arc A770: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Arc A770
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is marginally faster, around 5% ahead of the Arc A770. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A770 starts at $50,300 JPY against $159,706 JPY for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER. Despite being slower, the Arc A770 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~202% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Arc A770 still sits about $49,971 JPY above its $329 JPY MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER still sits about $159,007 JPY above its $699 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A770 draws just 225W versus 250W for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. 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 GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER's 8GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (Alchemist vs Turing), 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 GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 A770 or GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER?
Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc A770 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
