Arc A310 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A310 vs GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
The Arc A310 and GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 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 A310 currently lists from $137 EUR, $12 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti at $149 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A310 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 8%.
Power & Efficiency
At 30W against 75W, the Arc A310 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.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A310 is roughly 6 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (Alchemist vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A310 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce GTX 1050 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 A310 or GeForce GTX 1050 Ti?
The Arc A310 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.
