Radeon RX 580 vs Radeon R7 370: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 580 vs Radeon R7 370
The Radeon RX 580 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 580 packs 2,304 stream processors versus 1,024 on the Radeon R7 370.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon R7 370 is the gentler choice at 110W versus 185W. The Radeon RX 580 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 185W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU. 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
The Radeon RX 580 carries 8GB versus 2GB on the Radeon R7 370. The extra 6GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The Radeon RX 580's memory is also faster — 256 GB/s versus 179 GB/s — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Generation & Longevity
The Radeon RX 580 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 580?
The Radeon RX 580 is the faster card by about 500%. 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.
