Where they actually differ
The most decisive specs, ranked by how much they matter — before the full spec table.
| Spec | Intel - Arc B770 | NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080 |
|---|---|---|
| CUDA / Stream cores | 4096 | 10752 |
| Ray tracing cores | 32 | 84 |
| TDP | 225 W | 360 W |
| 3DMark Time Spy | 13500 | 23800 |
| Boost clock | 2900 MHz | 2617 MHz |
| DLSS | false | true |
Between the Arc B770 and GeForce RTX 5080, the Arc B770 comes out ahead in tdp / boost clock, while the GeForce RTX 5080 wins on cuda / stream cores / ray tracing cores. Overall, the Arc B770 scores 64.2 and the GeForce RTX 5080 scores 71.4 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The GeForce RTX 5080 edges ahead on the Mars Score (64.2 vs 71.4), but the 7.2-point gap is small enough that the right pick comes down to which spec advantages matter to you.
Pick the Arc B770 if you care most about tdp / boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock. The single most decisive one: TDP — 135.00 W less. 225 vs 360.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5080 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 cuda / stream cores, ray tracing cores, 3dmark time spy, among others. The single most decisive one: CUDA / Stream cores — 162.50% more. 10752 vs 4096.
Both ship with comparable vram, memory bus, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the GeForce RTX 5080 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
Which should you buy: Intel - Arc B770 or NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080?
NVIDIA - GeForce RTX 5080 leads the current Mars Score by 7.2 points.The more useful decision is the trade-off behind that result: compare cuda / stream cores, boost clock, tdp against the way you will actually use the product.
