Which one should you buy?
The RTX 5050 8GB and Arc B570 10GB sit in the same class, so this is a straight question of which maker gives more for the money right now. In the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026), the RTX 5050 8GB averages 45 fps at 1440p and 17 at 4K; the Arc B570 10GB averages 44 and 20. At 1080p the averages are 69 and 64 fps. That is within 2% at 1440p, close enough that you won't notice in play, so price and features decide it.
Memory differs: 8GB on the RTX 5050 8GB against 10GB on the Arc B570 10GB. 8GB cards increasingly need lower texture settings in new games at 1440p, and that won't show up in an average fps number. In games the RTX 5050 8GB draws about 130W and the Arc B570 10GB about 150W; power supply advice is 550W (maker's advice) vs about 450W (our rule of thumb). The RTX 5050 8GB is about 197mm long and uses standard 8-pin power; the Arc B570 10GB is about 250mm long, 2 slots thick with standard 8-pin power.
For upscaling, the RTX 5050 8GB uses DLSS and the Arc B570 10GB uses XeSS; DLSS is supported in the most games.
Our take: buy whichever is cheaper today; the verdict at the top of this page does that math with live prices.
Good to know
- RTX 5050 has 8 GB of video memory, which can force lower texture settings in newer games at 1440p.
