Performance comparison: which is faster?
Intel Arc A380 6GB (Intel, 2022) and UHD Graphics 730 (Intel, 2021) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: Arc A380 6GB is about 243.8% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM Arc A380 6GB（6GB） has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | Arc A380 6GB | UHD Graphics 730 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 5,500 | 1,600 |
| VRAM | 6GB | Shared |
| Manufacturer | Intel | Intel |
| Series | Arc | Integrated |
| Release Year | 2022 | 2021 |
| Compatible CPU Example | AMD FX-4300 | Core 2 Duo E7500 |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on Arc A380 6GB also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | Arc A380 6GB |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | Arc A380 6GB |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | UHD Graphics 730 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Arc A380 6GB is about 243.8% higher by score (Arc A380 6GB: 5500 points / UHD Graphics 730: 1600 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Arc A380 6GB has 6GB of VRAM, while UHD Graphics 730 has Shared; Arc A380 6GB has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, AMD FX-4300 pairs well with Arc A380 6GB and Core 2 Duo E7500 with UHD Graphics 730 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
