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 $159 EUR, $941 EUR less than the Radeon RX 570 at $1,100 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A380 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 592%. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $931 EUR above its $169 EUR 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arc A380 better than the Radeon RX 570?

They're very close on raw performance. The Arc A380 edges ahead on value, so price and availability should decide it.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc A380 or the Radeon RX 570?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 570 worth the extra $941 EUR over the Arc A380?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Arc A380 comes out ahead.

Does the Arc A380 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 6GB (vs 4GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
