GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Arc A580: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER vs Arc A580
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is significantly faster, around 31% ahead of the Arc A580. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER currently lists from $913 AED, $233 AED less than the Arc A580 at $1,146 AED. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 65%. The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER still sits about $214 AED above its $699 AED MSRP. The Arc A580 still sits about $967 AED above its $179 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 175W against 250W, the Arc A580 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A580 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (Alchemist vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A580 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 A580 or GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER?
The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 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 A580 if you find it at a steep discount.
