Arc A770 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A770 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
The Arc A770 is noticeably faster, around 18% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A770 starts at $325 EUR against $1,004 EUR for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A770 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 263%. The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti still sits about $305 EUR above its $699 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A770 draws just 225W versus 250W for the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 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 11GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti's 11GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 5 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1080 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 A770 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce GTX 1080 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 GTX 1080 Ti?
The Arc A770 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 1080 Ti if you find it at a steep discount.
