Intel Arc A770 16GB vs AMD RX 5600 XT

How much faster one is than the other, and the resolution at which that difference turns into real frames. Reference: AMD Ryzen 9 7900, 32 GB of RAM.

SHORT ANSWER

The Intel Arc A770 16GB is 8% faster than the AMD RX 5600 XT on paper, but paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900 it delivers no extra frames at all until 1280x720 (HD 16:9). Below that resolution the processor caps both cards equally and you would be overpaying.

WHERE IT STARTS MATTERING

Real-world advantage of the Intel Arc A770 16GB over the AMD RX 5600 XT at each resolution, paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900. At low resolution the processor caps both cards equally, so the faster one delivers nothing extra until the load moves onto the graphics card.

HOW THIS IS CALCULATED

The per-game frame rates are the ceiling each card sustains on its own at that resolution, with no processor limiting it. The resolution table does include the processor, because that is where you see whether the difference reaches you.

Native resolution, no upscaling and no frame generation. Measured model error · Methodology
