GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon R7 370: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: GeForce GTX 980 vs Radeon R7 370

The GeForce GTX 980 is dramatically faster, around 600% ahead of the Radeon R7 370. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon R7 370 pulls less power (110W vs 165W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 980 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

With 4GB against 2GB, the GeForce GTX 980 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon R7 370's 2GB can fall short.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GTX 980 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 GTX 980 or Radeon R7 370?

The GeForce GTX 980 is the faster card by about 600%. 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 GTX 980 better than the Radeon R7 370?

The GeForce GTX 980 is dramatically faster, roughly 600% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the GeForce GTX 980 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.

Does the GeForce GTX 980 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.
