Arc B570 vs GeForce RTX 2060: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Arc B570 vs GeForce RTX 2060

The Arc B570 is significantly faster, around 31% ahead of the GeForce RTX 2060. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Arc B570 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce RTX 2060 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The Arc B570 currently lists from $277 EUR, $38 EUR less than the GeForce RTX 2060 at $315 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc B570 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 49%. The GeForce RTX 2060 is trading below its $349 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

At 150W against 160W, 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 Arc B570 carries 10GB versus 6GB on the GeForce RTX 2060. The extra 4GB 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 6 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2060 (Battlemage vs Turing), 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 RTX 2060 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 RTX 2060?

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 RTX 2060 if you find it at a steep discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arc B570 better than the GeForce RTX 2060?

The Arc B570 is significantly faster, roughly 31% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc B570 or the GeForce RTX 2060?

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 RTX 2060 worth the extra $38 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 Arc B570 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 10GB (vs 6GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
