GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon R7 370: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GT 1030 vs Radeon R7 370

The GeForce GT 1030 and Radeon R7 370 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

At 30W against 110W, the GeForce GT 1030 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. 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 370 (Pascal vs GCN 1.0), 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 370 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 370?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GeForce GT 1030 better than the Radeon R7 370?

They're very close on raw performance. Pick based on price, VRAM, and power draw rather than speed.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GT 1030 or the Radeon R7 370?

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.
