GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Arc A770: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Arc A770
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is significantly faster, around 25% 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 $53,360 JPY for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 18%. The Arc A770 still sits about $49,971 JPY above its $329 JPY MSRP. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti still sits about $52,361 JPY above its $999 JPY MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A770 pulls less power (225W vs 250W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 2080 Ti draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 11GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti's 11GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (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 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 A770 or GeForce RTX 2080 Ti?
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 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 A770 if you find it at a steep discount.
