Radeon R9 370

2015

Why buy it

✅100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation (2023).
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌
170.9% HIGHER MSRP
$149 MSRPvs$55 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 31.7 vs 87.3 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $55 MSRP).
❌69.2% higher power demand at 110W vs 65W.

Radeon RX 560X (móvel)

2018

Why buy it

✅Costs $94 less on MSRP ($55 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
✅Delivers 175.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 87.3 vs 31.7 G3D/$ ($55 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with FSR Frame Generation (2023).
✅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 65W instead of 110W, a 45W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon RX 560X (móvel) better than Radeon R9 370?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,722 vs 4,800 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation, plus much lower power draw (65W vs 110W).

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

Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2018 generation instead of 2015, better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling, and a 14nm 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 RX 560X (móvel) can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $55 MSRP. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is about $94 cheaper on MSRP at $55 MSRP versus $149 MSRP, and you are getting 1.7% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $55 MSRP gets you newer hardware, lower power draw (65W vs 110W), and FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation.

Is Radeon R9 370 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Radeon R9 370 is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below $149 MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. Radeon RX 560X (móvel) is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and FSR upscaling + limited Frame Generation.
