GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon R7 360: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon R7 360
The GeForce GT 1030 and Radeon R7 360 post nearly the same score in our performance index, so neither holds a meaningful raw-speed advantage. Both are best suited to entry-level 1080p gaming.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GT 1030 draws just 30W versus 100W for the Radeon R7 360, and it also delivers more performance per watt — so it runs cooler and quieter and needs less PSU headroom. Its more modern Pascal architecture on a Samsung 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
Generation & Longevity
The GeForce GT 1030 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon R7 360 (Pascal vs GCN 2.0), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GT 1030 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R7 360 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 GT 1030 or Radeon R7 360?
The GeForce GT 1030 is the faster card. 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.
