Common questions.

Straight answers on the RTX 5060 Ti versus the Arc A770.

  • Is the RTX 5060 Ti better than the Arc A770?

    Yes, but by less than the spec sheet suggests. At 1440p the RTX 5060 Ti scores 74 against 68 for the Arc A770 — roughly 9% faster. It also costs about $80 more at MSRP, so the question is whether that gap is worth the money for your build.

  • Does the RTX 5060 Ti or Arc A770 bottleneck a Ryzen 5 9600X?

    Paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X at 1440p, the RTX 5060 Ti build comes out 5% GPU-bound, and the Arc A770 build comes out 10% GPU-bound. Being GPU-bound is the healthy outcome — it means the graphics card is the part working hardest.

  • Is it worth upgrading from the Arc A770 to the RTX 5060 Ti?

    Only if you are also lifting the rest of the build. The RTX 5060 Ti is about 9% ahead at 1440p, and gaps like that shrink further at 4K where the GPU does more of the work. If you are upgrading from the Arc A770 purely for frames, check the pairing first.

  • Which is better value, the RTX 5060 Ti or the Arc A770?

    On performance per dollar at MSRP, the Arc A770 wins. The RTX 5060 Ti lists at $429 for an index of 74, and the Arc A770 at $349 for 68.
