GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Arc A580: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3070 Ti vs Arc A580
The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is dramatically faster, around 41% ahead of the Arc A580. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc A580 is better matched to 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc A580 currently lists from $279 GBP, $71 GBP less than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti at $350 GBP. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti wins on performance-per-dollar by about 12%. The Arc A580 still sits about $100 GBP above its $179 GBP MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is trading below its $599 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
At 175W against 290W, 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 2 years newer than the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (Alchemist vs Ampere), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Arc A580 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 RTX 3070 Ti or Arc A580?
The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 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.
