Between the Arc B770 and GeForce RTX 5050, the Arc B770 comes out ahead in vram and memory bus, while the GeForce RTX 5050 wins on tdp and dlss. Overall, the Arc B770 scores 62.4 and the GeForce RTX 5050 scores 52.7 on our Mars Score.
Which should you buy?
The Arc B770 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 9.7 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 B770 if you push the hardware — gaming, on-device AI, heavy multitasking — and the extra compute headroom is worth the trade-offs. The biggest gaps in its favor are vram, memory bus, cuda / stream cores, among others.
Pick the GeForce RTX 5050 if you care most about tdp and dlss. Its strongest claims are tdp, dlss.
There are no meaningful ties on the headline specs — every popular-comparison metric has a winner.
Bottom line: the Arc B770 is the safer default. The other model is the right choice only when its specific advantages line up with your priorities.
