Arc B570 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Arc B570 vs GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

The Arc B570 and GeForce GTX 1080 Ti post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to 1080p gaming.

Price & Value

The Arc B570 currently lists from $277 EUR, $727 EUR less than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti at $1,004 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc B570 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

At 150W against 250W, the Arc B570 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Battlemage architecture on a TSMC N5 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The GeForce GTX 1080 Ti carries 11GB versus 10GB on the Arc B570. The extra 1GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Generation & Longevity

The Arc B570 is roughly 8 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (Battlemage vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the Arc B570 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 B570 or GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

The Arc B570 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arc B570 better than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

They're very close on raw performance. The Arc B570 edges ahead on value, so price and availability should decide it.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc B570 or the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti?

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

Is the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti worth the extra $727 EUR over the Arc B570?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Arc B570 comes out ahead.

Does the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 11GB (vs 10GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
