Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon R9 380X: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon RX 570 vs Radeon R9 380X

The Radeon RX 570 is significantly faster, around 33% ahead of the Radeon R9 380X. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Power & Efficiency

At 150W against 190W, the Radeon RX 570 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power. Its more modern GCN 4.0 (Polaris) architecture on a GloFo 14nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.

Memory & Bandwidth

The Radeon RX 570's memory is faster β€” 224 GB/s versus 182 GB/s β€” which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.

Generation & Longevity

The Radeon RX 570 is roughly 2 years newer than the Radeon R9 380X (GCN 4.0 (Polaris) vs GCN 3.0), so it generally benefits from a more modern architecture and longer driver-support runway.

Which should you buy: Radeon RX 570 or Radeon R9 380X?

The Radeon RX 570 is the faster card by about 33%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above β€” particularly VRAM and power draw β€” and check current stock before buying.
