r7 370

[sprycel]

hi guys i just saw that the 3xx series from amd came out and now i was thinking if an i3 4130 would bottleneck an r7 370 in my country (italy) it costs 163 euros which are about 180 dollars do you think it is a good deal buying it right now? i haven't got a gpu yet but i am very confused since i am new to pc gaming i would like to play gta V, dragon age inquisition and cod AW which gpu suits me best? my budget is 170 euros

forgive me for my horrible english but i am ,as i said before, italian.

It will work but dont expect very high frame rates and an r7 maxes out on 1080p dont expect 4k especially with gta 5

not a i3 wouldn't bottleneck it.

But for about 170 you could get a R9 280 / R9 280x / R9 285 on promo

No it will not bottleneck that card.

But buy this one.

How much is a r9 280x, r9 280, r9 270x, r7 265 in your area?

[salecar3]

it will work fine but i woad get r9 270x and no it wouldn't bottleneck it

Is it not just a rebadged R7 265? It seems like a big step down from an 270 tbh...

You are completely correct, an r9 270 and r9 270x are both 7870's, the r7 370 is an r7 265 which is also an older 7790 7850*

actually the 265 is the 7850

well in my country the 370 costs less than the 270x even if not that much... why should i buy a previous generation card? i am sorry but i think that if something is newer it should perform better correct me if i'm wrong i would really appreciate that

The "new" amd cards that have came out so far, (except for the Fury series) are all older gpu's that were given a new name. 

 

The r7 370 preforms the same as a gtx 650ti as the r9 270 and r9 270x all match a gtx 660ti. A r9 270x is just an r9 270 with a higher clock speed, that's it!

 

Depending on how much you want to spend and the prices in your area, the r7 370 is slower than the r9 270.

thank you so it is better to buy an r9 270?

It's what I started with as my first graphics card It can drive every AAA title today at high, if not ultra settings while keeping the fps in the 60's (at 1080p)

i have found an r9 270x on a very well reviewed website for 163 euros i think i will buy that!
