Arc Graphics 130V

2024

Why buy it

✅Less risky long-term buy than Radeon R9 370: it remains the more sensible modern option while Radeon R9 370 is already obsolete for modern gaming.
✅Draws 15W instead of 110W, a 95W reduction.
✅More future proof: Xe² (2024) on 3nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2024-era hardware with Unknown of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌
101.3% HIGHER MSRP
$300 MSRPvs$149 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 15.0 vs 31.7 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).

Radeon R9 370

2015

Why buy it

✅Costs $151 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
✅Delivers 110.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 31.7 vs 15.0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs Unknown).

Trade-offs

❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌633.3% higher power demand at 110W vs 15W.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon R9 370 better than Arc Graphics 130V?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,510 vs 4,722 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon R9 370 is the overall package: you are getting FSR upscaling.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Arc Graphics 130V is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2015, the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling, and a 3nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon R9 370 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $149 MSRP. Radeon R9 370 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon R9 370 is about $151 cheaper on MSRP at $149 MSRP versus $300 MSRP, and you are getting 4.7% higher G3D Mark. Arc Graphics 130V is the newer 2024 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 110W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Arc Graphics 130V make more sense than Radeon R9 370?

Yes. Arc Graphics 130V is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still fine for 1080p, but 1440p and especially 4K require more compromise. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 110W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $300 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon R9 370. The trade-off is that Radeon R9 370 currently gives you 4.7% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 110.8%.
