GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs Arc A380: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER vs Arc A380
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is dramatically faster, around 833% ahead of the Arc A380. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is comfortable at 4K with upscaling and native 1440p, while the Arc A380 is better matched to entry-level 1080p.
Price & Value
The Arc A380 currently lists from $140 USD, $760 USD less than the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER at $900 USD. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER wins on performance-per-dollar by about 45%. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is trading below its $999 USD MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Arc A380 is the gentler choice at 75W versus 320W. The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 320W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern Ada Lovelace architecture on a TSMC 4N process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER carries 16GB versus 6GB on the Arc A380. The extra 10GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is roughly 2 years newer than the Arc A380 (Ada Lovelace vs Alchemist), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the Arc A380 brings Intel XeSS upscaling and AV1 encoding, while the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER offers NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing. 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 A380 or GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER?
The GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER 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.
