Arc A380 vs GeForce RTX 4060 Ti: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Arc A380

2022

Why buy it

  • Costs $250 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Draws 75W instead of 160W, a 85W reduction.
  • Measures 190mm instead of 240mm, a 50mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 42.3 vs 56.8 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 4060 Ti

2023

Why buy it

  • 176.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 34.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 56.8 vs 42.3 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 33.3% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 6 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 113.3% higher power demand at 160W vs 75W.
  • 26.3% longer card at 240mm vs 190mm.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 176.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 259.5% in PassMark G3D (22,651 vs 6,301), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 6 GB of VRAM, the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while Arc A380 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 6nm, and 34 vs 8 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 4060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $250 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $149, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 34.2% (56.8 vs 42.3), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The Arc A380 does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 Ti gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Arc A380 leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
