Performance: Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB vs Arc A770

The Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB 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 $300 GBP for the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB wins on performance-per-dollar. The Arc A770 is trading below its $329 GBP MSRP β€” a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB draws just 160W versus 225W for the Arc A770, and it also delivers more performance per watt β€” so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern RDNA 4 architecture on a TSMC N4 process is part of why it does more with each watt.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 16GB against 8GB, the Arc A770 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB's 8GB can fall short.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB 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 8GB 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 8GB?

The Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB is the all-round winner here β€” 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.
