GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q vs Arc A380 specs and performance

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q graphics card is better than the Arc A380 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the Arc A380 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Arc A380 has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q at 110 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the GeForce GTX 1080 Max-Q over the Arc A380.
