Performance: Arc A770 vs Radeon RX 5700 XT
The Arc A770 is noticeably faster, around 11% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc A770 currently lists from $1,561 AED, $1,527 AED less than the Radeon RX 5700 XT at $3,089 AED. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Arc A770 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 120%. The Arc A770 still sits about $1,232 AED above its $329 AED MSRP. The Radeon RX 5700 XT still sits about $2,690 AED above its $399 AED MSRP.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Arc A770 carries 16GB versus 8GB on the Radeon RX 5700 XT. The extra 8GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 3 years newer than the Radeon RX 5700 XT (Alchemist vs RDNA), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A770 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the Radeon RX 5700 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 A770 or Radeon RX 5700 XT?
The Arc A770 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 5700 XT if you find it at a steep discount.
