Launch MSRPs, release cycles and deals windows as of November 9, 2026.
This is a cross-brand comparison between the AMD RX 7600 XT (RX 7000, Mid-range, superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT) and the Intel Arc A770 (Arc Alchemist, Mid-range, superseded by the Intel Arc B580), released 15 months apart. Against the Arc A770, the RX 7600 XT costs $20 less at launch MSRP ($329 vs $349, 6% cheaper), matches its 16 GB of VRAM and draws 75W less at rated TDP (150W vs 225W).
This GPU is no longer the current generation. It has been replaced by the AMD RX 9060 XT.
Superseded by RX 9060 XT
Best for: Budget gamers who want 16GB VRAM for 1080p/1440p at clearance prices.

Superseded by Arc B580
Best for: Budget gamers who want 16GB VRAM and primarily play modern DX12/Vulkan titles. Not recommended for older game libraries or professional CUDA workloads.

Most VRAM per dollar in the clearance market.
Ultra-efficient.
Street prices are around $370 as of October 2026, above the $329 MSRP — worth buying only when they fall back below it.
16GB VRAM at the $349 price point — more than the B580 (12GB) and any NVIDIA card at this tier.
Intel still ships regular A-series drivers — 32.0.101.9034 (beta, October 2026) added launch support for new game releases, on top of ongoing DX12 and Vulkan optimisations.
Intel's AI upscaler works across all GPU brands but is optimized for Arc hardware.
Released Jan 24, 2024, the RX 7600 XT has been on the market for 2 years 9 months. It has been superseded by the AMD RX 9060 XT, which launched Jun 5, 2025, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Released Oct 12, 2022, the Arc A770 has been on the market for 4 years. It has been superseded by the Intel Arc B580, which launched Dec 3, 2024, so it's no longer a current-generation buy — new stock is clearance, and the rest of the market is second-hand.
Both cards are superseded. If you're buying new, their replacements — the AMD RX 9060 XT and Intel Arc B580 — are where current pricing and timing advice apply.
At launch MSRP the RX 7600 XT is $20 cheaper than the Arc A770 ($329 vs $349, 6% less). Per gigabyte of VRAM that's $20.6 for the RX 7600 XT and $21.8 for the Arc A770 — the RX 7600 XT gives more memory for the money. Launch MSRP is only a reference point for a superseded card; its real price is whatever clearance or used stock sells for today.
Both cards are in the Black Friday 2026 deals window, which runs to Dec 5, 2026 and is rated Caution for each. For the RX 7600 XT: analysts do not expect memory supply to normalise before late 2027, so real clearance pricing is unlikely. Only buy if a deal lands below the $329 MSRP. For the Arc A770: with production ended and new stock dwindling, deep retail discounts are unlikely. Look for a used unit under $250; otherwise the Arc B580 is the better buy if you find one near its $249 MSRP.
Next on the deals calendar: for the Arc A770, New Year clearance 2027, from Jan 2, 2027 to Jan 20, 2027.
Our pick: AMD RX 7600 XT
Both of these cards are superseded, so if you're buying new, compare the AMD RX 9060 XT and Intel Arc B580 instead. The rest of this verdict applies to clearance or used units.
With editor scores and timing level, the cheaper card gets the nod: our pick is the RX 7600 XT at $329 vs $349 launch MSRP, and it also draws 75W less at rated TDP (150W vs 225W) and carries a higher editor score (7.3 vs 7.1).
Go for the Arc A770 instead if you prefer Intel's XeSS upscaling to AMD's FSR3, or if you find one on clearance or second-hand for clearly less than the RX 7600 XT costs.
