Acer Arc B580 Nitro 12GB GDDR6
ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5080 APOCALYPSE 16GB GDDR7 White
Grab the Acer Nitro if you're building a compact or budget-conscious rig where 190W power draw and a 0.67 kg dual-fan card matter more than raw performance.
Buy the ZOTAC if you want serious 4K gaming, ray tracing, or workstation performance and have a full tower case to fit this 3.22 kg triple-fan beast.
Key Differences
- VRAM and bandwidth: 16GB GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus vs 12GB GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus. That's a massive gap for 4K textures and future-proofing.
- Raw performance: PassMark G3D of 35,666 vs 16,019, and GPU compute of 19,602 vs 7,831. The ZOTAC is more than twice as fast in most workloads.
- Ray tracing cores: 84 vs 18. If you care about RT effects, the ZOTAC is in a completely different league.
- Power and size: 360W TDP and 3.22 kg with three fans vs 190W and 0.67 kg with two fans. The Acer fits in small builds, the ZOTAC needs serious space and a beefy PSU.
- Real-world sentiment: ZOTAC owners consistently praise the cooling, with temps staying under 70°C under load, and note strong overclocking headroom. The Acer has no comparable sentiment data, which itself tells you something about its market position.
