Radeon RX 6800 vs Arc A770: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 6800 vs Arc A770

The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, around 55% ahead of the Arc A770. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc A770 is better matched to 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Arc A770 starts at $325 EUR against $1,186 EUR for the Radeon RX 6800. Despite being slower, the Arc A770 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~135% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon RX 6800 still sits about $607 EUR above its $579 EUR 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 Radeon RX 6800 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

Generation & Longevity

The Arc A770 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon RX 6800 (Alchemist vs RDNA 2), 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 Radeon RX 6800 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 A770 or Radeon RX 6800?

Choose the Radeon RX 6800 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc A770 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 6800 better than the Arc A770?

The Radeon RX 6800 is dramatically faster, roughly 55% ahead. The Arc A770 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc A770 or the Radeon RX 6800?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at 1440p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.

Is the Radeon RX 6800 worth the extra $861 EUR over the Arc A770?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Arc A770 comes out ahead.
