GeForce RTX 3070 vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3070 vs Arc A380
The GeForce RTX 3070 is dramatically faster, around 350% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3070 is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc A380 currently lists from $861 AED, $639 AED less than the GeForce RTX 3070 at $1,500 AED. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 158%. The Arc A380 still sits about $722 AED above its $139 AED MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3070 still sits about $1,001 AED above its $499 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Arc A380 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 220W. The GeForce RTX 3070 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 220W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 3070 carries 8GB versus 6GB on the Arc A380. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A380 is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 3070 (Alchemist vs Ampere), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce RTX 3070 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 A380 or GeForce RTX 3070?
The GeForce RTX 3070 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 A380 if you find it at a steep discount.
