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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Radeon RX 570 better than the Radeon R7 370?

The Radeon RX 570 is dramatically faster, roughly 500% ahead. The Radeon R7 370 is still worth it if value matters more than top-end frames.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Radeon R7 370 or the Radeon RX 570?

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.

Is the Radeon RX 570 worth the extra $695 EUR over the Radeon R7 370?

Only if you need the extra performance or features; on pure value the Radeon R7 370 comes out ahead.

Does the Radeon RX 570 have enough VRAM advantage to matter?

Its 4GB (vs 2GB) gives real headroom for 4K, heavy texture mods, and creative/AI work. At 1080p the gap matters less.

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.
