Cost-Effectiveness Evaluation

Performance to price ratio. The higher, the better.

Arc A380 has 11% better value for money than RTX A2000.

Detailed Specifications

General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Pipelines / CUDA cores	3328	1024
Boost clock speed	1200 MHz	2050 MHz
Number of transistors	13,250 million	7,200 million
Manufacturing process technology	8 nm	6 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	70 Watt	75 Watt
Texture fill rate	124.8	131.2

Form Factor & Compatibility

Information on RTX A2000 and Arc A380 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Interface	PCIe 4.0 x16	PCIe 4.0 x8
Length	167 mm	no data
Width	2-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	None	1x 8-pin

VRAM Capacity and Type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	GDDR6	GDDR6
Maximum RAM amount	6 GB	6 GB
Memory bus width	192 Bit	96 Bit
Memory clock speed	12 GB/s	15.5 GB/s
Memory bandwidth	288.0 GB/s	186.0 GB/s

Connectivity and Outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.
