Radeon RX 7700 XT vs Arc B580: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 7700 XT vs Arc B580

The Radeon RX 7700 XT is dramatically faster, around 45% ahead of the Arc B580. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 7700 XT is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc B580 is better matched to 1080p.

Price & Value

The Arc B580 currently lists from $331 EUR, $117 EUR less than the Radeon RX 7700 XT at $448 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 7700 XT wins on performance-per-dollar by about 7%. The Arc B580 still sits about $83 EUR above its $248 EUR MSRP.

Power & Efficiency

On power, the Arc B580 is the gentler choice at 190W versus 245W. The Radeon RX 7700 XT is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 245W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the Arc B580 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 7700 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 B580 or Radeon RX 7700 XT?

The Radeon RX 7700 XT is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Arc B580 if you find it at a steep discount.
