Arc A750 vs GeForce GTX 1080: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A750 vs GeForce GTX 1080
The Arc A750 is significantly faster, around 38% ahead of the GeForce GTX 1080. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Arc A750 is comfortable at 1080p, while the GeForce GTX 1080 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GTX 1080 starts at $434 SEK against $2,511 SEK for the Arc A750. Despite being slower, the GeForce GTX 1080 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~317% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 1080 is trading below its $599 SEK MSRP — a genuine deal. The Arc A750 still sits about $2,222 SEK above its $289 SEK MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GTX 1080 pulls less power (180W vs 225W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Arc A750 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A750 is roughly 6 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1080 (Alchemist vs Pascal), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A750 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce GTX 1080 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 A750 or GeForce GTX 1080?
Choose the Arc A750 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GTX 1080 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
