Radeon R9 380X vs GeForce GTX 760: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon R9 380X vs GeForce GTX 760
The Radeon R9 380X is dramatically faster, around 50% ahead of the GeForce GTX 760. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the GeForce GTX 760 is the gentler choice at 170W versus 190W. The Radeon R9 380X is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 190W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. Its more modern GCN 3.0 architecture on a TSMC 28nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon R9 380X carries 4GB versus 2GB on the GeForce GTX 760. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon R9 380X is roughly 2 years newer than the GeForce GTX 760 (GCN 3.0 vs Kepler), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 760 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 380X offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 760 or Radeon R9 380X?
The Radeon R9 380X is the faster card by about 50%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
