Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB vs Arc A770: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB vs Arc A770
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is dramatically faster, around 40% ahead of the Arc A770. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc A770 is better matched to 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc A770 currently lists from $1,561 AED, $24 AED less than the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB at $1,585 AED. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB wins on performance-per-dollar by about 38%. The Arc A770 still sits about $1,232 AED above its $329 AED MSRP. The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB still sits about $1,236 AED above its $349 AED MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
At 160W against 225W, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern RDNA 4 architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB is roughly 3 years newer than the Arc A770 (RDNA 4 vs Alchemist), 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 9060 XT 16GB 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 9060 XT 16GB?
The Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB 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 A770 if you find it at a steep discount.
