Between the Arc B570 and Radeon RX 9070, the Arc B570 comes out ahead in tdp and boost clock, while the Radeon RX 9070 wins on ray tracing cores and 3dmark time spy. Overall, the Arc B570 scores 54.1 and the Radeon RX 9070 scores 63.1 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Radeon RX 9070 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 9.0 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Arc B570 if you care most about tdp and boost clock. The biggest gaps in its favor are tdp, boost clock.
Pick the Radeon RX 9070 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, vram, among others.
Both ship with comparable dlss, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: the Radeon RX 9070 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
