The GeForce RTX 4080 is dramatically faster, around 107% ahead of the Arc A770. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4080 is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the Arc A770 is better matched to 1440p.

Price & Value

Right now the Arc A770 starts at $289 GBP against $1,917 GBP for the GeForce RTX 4080. Despite being slower, the Arc A770 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~220% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully.

Power & Efficiency

The Arc A770 pulls less power (225W vs 320W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 4080 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt β€” plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 4080 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.

Choose the GeForce RTX 4080 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.
