AMD Radeon R9 370
The Radeon R9 370 is an AMD GPU that was released in May 2015. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 8% in our PC benchmark.
The Radeon R9 370 has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 175 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.
In terms of clock speed, the Radeon R9 370 GPU core runs at a frequency of 950 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 975 MHz. The core clock is directly related to the performance of a GPU, the higher the clock, the more processing can be done per second. A higher clock does not guarantee better performance by itself, this also depends on the number of shading units and other elements of the pipeline.
As for rendering API support, the Radeon R9 370 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Higher level APIs such as DirectX 12 give more control to the game developer and can allow them to improve the graphics and performance.
This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 150W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
