About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce GTX 460 768MB

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 75W instead of 110W, a 35W reduction.
  • Measures 210mm instead of 221mm, a 11mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon R9 370 across 19 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Poor future-proofing: older-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 31.7 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $149 MSRP).

Radeon R9 370

2015

Why buy it

  • 17.5% more average FPS across 19 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 31.7 vs 0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).

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.
  • 46.7% higher power demand at 110W vs 75W.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon R9 370 better than GeForce GTX 460 768MB?
Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. Radeon R9 370 averages 17.5% more FPS across 19 tracked games in our benchmark data. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,800 vs 4,722 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon R9 370 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, FSR upscaling.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 460 768MB is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. 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 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. Radeon R9 370 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $149 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 17.5% more estimated average FPS across 19 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (4,722 vs 4,800). It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. GeForce GTX 460 768MB is the more forward-looking alternative, so it still has a real case if you care more about lower power draw (75W vs 110W) and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.
When does GeForce GTX 460 768MB make more sense than Radeon R9 370?
Yes. GeForce GTX 460 768MB is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is lower power draw (75W vs 110W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon R9 370. The trade-off is that Radeon R9 370 currently gives you a lower G3D Mark (4,722 vs 4,800) and 17.5% more estimated average FPS across 19 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
