Arc A770 vs Arc A580: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Arc A770 vs Arc A580
The Arc A770 is significantly faster, around 25% ahead of the Arc A580. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p. The Arc A770 packs 4,096 shading units versus 3,072 on the Arc A580. The Arc A770 also has more RT cores (32 vs 24) and more AI cores (512 vs 384), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A580 starts at $1,146 AED against $1,561 AED for the Arc A770. Despite being slower, the Arc A580 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~9% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Arc A580 still sits about $967 AED above its $179 AED MSRP. The Arc A770 still sits about $1,232 AED above its $329 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A580 draws just 175W versus 225W for the Arc A770, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 8GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A580's 8GB can fall short. The Arc A770's memory is also faster — 560 GB/s versus 512 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Arc A580 or Arc A770?
Choose the Arc A770 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc A580 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
