GeForce GTX 1660 vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 1660 vs Arc A380
The GeForce GTX 1660 is significantly faster, around 22% ahead of the Arc A380. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The GeForce GTX 1660 currently lists from $59 GBP, $70 GBP less than the Arc A380 at $129 GBP. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce GTX 1660 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 168%. The GeForce GTX 1660 is trading below its $219 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
At 75W against 120W, the Arc A380 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 A380 is roughly 3 years newer than the GeForce GTX 1660 (Alchemist vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 1660 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Arc A380 offers Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 1660 or Arc A380?
The GeForce GTX 1660 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.
