GTX 760 or R7 370 which one?

[AssassinsFilms]

I need a graphics card for a build I'm planning in the future. So far I only have a budget of US$150 for a GPU. I don't want anything used or refurbished, therefore the GTX 760 and Radeon R7 370 fit my price point. I have looked into benchmarks and since the 760 is close to the 960 I had to estimate sisnce there was no 760 benchmarks I could find but I am sure they are there and would love if some could be linked below. Now to the point since I have these 2 GPU's on mind I want to hear your opinion or even better if they are GPU's with the pricetag of 150 dollars better than these link them below as well.

-Thank You

760

The GTX 760 is better. It's between 950 and 960 in terms of performance.

[Misanthrope]

The 760 should be more solid, though not sure where do you find em at 150. But if you do then definitely.

WHAT THE HELL!  129.99$  Bull shit I don't have the money to buy it now!  WHY AM I EVEN LIVING!

[SteveGrabowski0]

Wow, $140 for a new GTX 760 on newegg is a pretty good deal.

[FuzzyYellow]

was - now it's the 270X

you mean 370X?

 

either way, the 760 is much better than either on them. It performs just under a 280 (tahiti, 7950 rebadge)

It use to - currently the 280 and 960 are pretty much tied depending on the VRAM usage and the 760 is about the same speed as a 950

you are getting 280 and 380 mixed up.

 

a 280 is a rebadged 7950, competes with the 760.

a 380 is a rebadged R9 285, and competes with the 960.

 

 

a280 is slower than a 258 by a small margin, same goes for 760 vs 960.

You're missing a key point - AMD's drivers are crap. Because of that - the 7950 isn't even fully utilized, I compared Valley scores - the 760 has a score of 1450-ish. The 770 has a score of 1800. I get 1650.

As someone who bought a 370 for a smaller pc, but got forced to use it in my main rig when my 770 crapped out, i would say got for the 760. Im not a fan boy either way, but after a day of running with AMD software/drivers i feel like im stepping back in time, AMD Catalyst Control Center just looks so outdated compared to the Nvidia stuff.

 

I got the XFX R7 370 Black Edition and even tho its a "low" tier card it sure does run hot and the fans have to ramp up quick to keep the card cool, as someone who likes his rig quiet, i would not be able to live with that on a daily basis.

The 370 is a lower-class card so it's true. I'd honestly blame the color scheme of CCC - Black makes it look fancy

At 80$ i could not say no tho, im happy with the performance its gonna bring to my small pc i have hooked up to my tv, but i would never use something like this in my main rig, it also just confirmed that if MSI wont fix my 770 and i have to replace it, its gonna be 970 over 390

Noise and temps vary greatly from OEM to OEM - example - the XFX 290X ran at 85*C with VRM1 at 95*C.

Sapphire 290X Vapor-X ran at 70*C with VRMs at 72*C.

Noise difference was as you'd expect considering XFX one ran @ 80% fan speed whereas Sapphire one ran @ 55% fan speed

no i'm not. you have a 280. it is comparable to a 760. not a 960. a 960 is comparable to a 380.

 

AMD drivers are not crap, they seem to be working just fine, considering your 280 is beating the Nvidia competitor by 200pts.

It is now - it wasn't at launch - When I first got my card I was using 14.5 Omega - from 2014 - updated to 15.7 Omega and my Witcher 3 Framerate went from mid 45-50 to 55-60 on medium settings.
