Between the Arc B580 and Radeon RX 7700 XT, the Arc B580 comes out ahead in tdp and boost clock, while the Radeon RX 7700 XT wins on ray tracing cores and 3dmark time spy. Overall, the Arc B580 scores 56.2 and the Radeon RX 7700 XT scores 59.6 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Radeon RX 7700 XT edges ahead on the Mars Score (56.2 vs 59.6), but the 3.4-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Arc B580 if you care most about tdp and boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock.
Pick the Radeon RX 7700 XT if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. Its strongest claims are ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, cuda / stream cores.
Both ship with comparable vram, memory bus, dlss, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
