Radeon R9 370 vs GeForce GT 1030 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon R9 370 graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 1030 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GT 1030 has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 also has a significantly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce GT 1030 has a significantly lower TDP at 30 W when compared to the Radeon R9 370 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R9 370 over the GeForce GT 1030.
