Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon R7 370: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon R7 370
The Radeon RX 570 is dramatically faster, around 500% ahead of the Radeon R7 370. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon RX 570 packs 2,048 stream processors versus 1,024 on the Radeon R7 370.
Price & Value
Right now the Radeon R7 370 starts at $35 EUR against $730 EUR for the Radeon RX 570. Despite being slower, the Radeon R7 370 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~249% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The Radeon R7 370 is trading below its $149 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal. The Radeon RX 570 still sits about $561 EUR above its $169 EUR MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The Radeon R7 370 pulls less power (110W vs 150W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon RX 570 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern GCN 4.0 (Polaris) architecture on a GloFo 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 4GB against 2GB, the Radeon RX 570 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon R7 370's 2GB can fall short. The Radeon RX 570's memory is also faster — 224 GB/s versus 179 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 570 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon R7 370 (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) vs GCN 1.0), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Which should you buy: Radeon R7 370 or Radeon RX 570?
Choose the Radeon RX 570 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the Radeon R7 370 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
