Between the Arc B770 and Radeon RX 7900 XT, the Arc B770 comes out ahead in tdp and boost clock, while the Radeon RX 7900 XT wins on ray tracing cores and 3dmark time spy. Overall, the Arc B770 scores 62.4 and the Radeon RX 7900 XT scores 66.7 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Radeon RX 7900 XT edges ahead on the Mars Score (62.4 vs 66.7), but the 4.3-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 and boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock.
Pick the Radeon RX 7900 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, among others.
Both ship with comparable 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.
