Radeon RX 5700 XT vs Arc A580: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 5700 XT vs Arc A580
The Radeon RX 5700 XT is noticeably faster, around 13% ahead of the Arc A580. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A580 starts at $225 EUR against $1,128 EUR for the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Despite being slower, the Arc A580 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~346% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $729 EUR above its $399 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A580 draws just 175W versus 225W for the Radeon RX 5700 XT, 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.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A580 is roughly 4 years newer than the Radeon RX 5700 XT (Alchemist vs RDNA), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A580 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 5700 XT 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 A580 or Radeon RX 5700 XT?
Choose the Radeon RX 5700 XT if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc A580 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
