AMD Radeon R7 370

The R9 380 might be the high-end flagship of the latest GCN 1.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the R7 370 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 149. AMD ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the GCN 1.0 graphics card inside the R7 370, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

The R7 370 is much more cheaper than the R9 270 as it costs $ 149. Compare this to the R9 270, which came originally at a price of $ 179. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the GTX 760 which costs $ 249. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 760, the R7 370 was -20.3 % slower.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

The GTX 970 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Maxwell 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 960 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 199. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Maxwell 2.0 graphics card inside the GTX 960, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.

The GTX 960 is much more cheaper than the GTX 760 as it costs $ 199. Compare this to the GTX 760, which came originally at a price of $ 249. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the R9 280 which costs $ 279. Spec for spec, this GTX 960 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 760, by boasting 3 % more fps.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 960 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 760 and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, R9 280, the GTX 960 was -1.6 % slower.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 74 fps to 74 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 74 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 61 fps to 61 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 61 fps.
