Radeon RX 5700 XT vs Arc B570: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 5700 XT vs Arc B570

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is marginally faster, around 6% ahead of the Arc B570. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.

Price & Value

Right now the Arc B570 starts at $277 EUR against $1,128 EUR for the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Despite being slower, the Arc B570 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~284% 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 B570 draws just 150W 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 Battlemage architecture on a TSMC N5 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 10GB against 8GB, the Arc B570 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 5700 XT's 8GB can fall short.

Generation & Longevity

The Arc B570 is roughly 6 years newer than the Radeon RX 5700 XT (Battlemage vs RDNA), 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 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 B570 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 B570 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 5700 XT better than the Arc B570?

The Radeon RX 5700 XT is marginally faster, roughly 6% ahead. The Arc B570 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Arc B570 or the Radeon RX 5700 XT?

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 Radeon RX 5700 XT worth the extra $851 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 8GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.
