Radeon R9 380X vs Radeon R7 370: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon R9 380X vs Radeon R7 370

The Radeon R9 380X is dramatically faster, around 200% ahead of the Radeon R7 370. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon R9 380X packs 2,048 stream processors versus 1,024 on the Radeon R7 370.

Power & Efficiency

The Radeon R7 370 pulls less power (110W vs 190W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster Radeon R9 380X 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 Radeon R9 380X has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the Radeon R7 370's 2GB can fall short.

Which should you buy: Radeon R7 370 or Radeon R9 380X?

The Radeon R9 380X is the faster card by about 200%. 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 Radeon R9 380X better than the Radeon R7 370?

The Radeon R9 380X is dramatically faster, roughly 200% ahead. If your budget allows, it's the stronger pick.

Which is better for 4K gaming, the Radeon R7 370 or the Radeon R9 380X?

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 Radeon R9 380X 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.
