Radeon R9 390 vs Radeon R7 370: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon R9 390 vs Radeon R7 370
The Radeon R9 390 is dramatically faster, around 400% ahead of the Radeon R7 370. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The Radeon R9 390 packs 2,560 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 275W. The Radeon R9 390 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 275W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon R9 390 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 R9 390's memory is also faster — 384 GB/s versus 179 GB/s (512-bit vs 256-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Radeon R7 370 or Radeon R9 390?
The Radeon R9 390 is the faster card by about 400%. 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.
