Radeon R9 370 vs GeForce GTX 860M comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R9 370 beats the GeForce GTX 860M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 860M has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the GeForce GTX 860M also has a slightly 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 GTX 860M has a significantly lower TDP at 75 W when compared to the Radeon R9 370 at 150 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R9 370 is faster than the GeForce GTX 860M.
