GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Arc A770: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Arc A770
The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is marginally faster, around 7% ahead of the Arc A770. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1440p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A770 starts at $289 GBP against $346 GBP for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Despite being slower, the Arc A770 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~12% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Arc A770 is trading below its $329 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal. The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is trading below its $999 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A770 draws just 225W versus 250W for the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Alchemist architecture on a TSMC N6 process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 16GB against 11GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti's 11GB can fall short.
Generation & Longevity
The Arc A770 is roughly 4 years newer than the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (Alchemist vs Turing), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Arc A770 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 2080 Ti or Arc A770?
Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Arc A770 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
