GeForce RTX 4070 vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4070 vs Arc A380
The GeForce RTX 4070 is dramatically faster, around 311% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4070 is comfortable at 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
Right now the Arc A380 starts at $140 USD against $500 USD for the GeForce RTX 4070. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4070 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 15%. The GeForce RTX 4070 is trading below its $600 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
The Arc A380 pulls less power (75W vs 200W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce RTX 4070 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 12GB against 3GB, the GeForce RTX 4070 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Arc A380's 3GB can fall short.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 4070 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 RTX 4070 or Arc A380?
The GeForce RTX 4070 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.
