Radeon R9 380X vs Radeon R7 360: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon R9 380X vs Radeon R7 360
The Radeon R9 380X is dramatically faster, around 200% ahead of the Radeon R7 360. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon R9 380X packs 2,048 stream processors versus 768 on the Radeon R7 360.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon R7 360 is the gentler choice at 100W versus 190W. The Radeon R9 380X is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 190W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon R9 380X carries 4GB versus 2GB on the Radeon R7 360. The extra 2GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The Radeon R9 380X's memory is also faster — 182 GB/s versus 96 GB/s (256-bit vs 128-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Radeon R7 360 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.
