Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 570 better than the Radeon R9 380?

The Radeon RX 570 is significantly faster, roughly 33% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Radeon RX 570 or the Radeon R9 380?

Neither is a dedicated 4K card; both are best at entry-level 1080p. For 4K you'd want a faster GPU, or lean on upscaling.
