GeForce GTX 1050 (Mobile) vs Radeon R7 370: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce GTX 1050 (Mobile)

2025

Why buy it

  • 1.7% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).
  • Better long-term bet: Blackwell (2024−2025) on 3nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 50W instead of 100W, a 50W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 30.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $149 MSRP).

Radeon R7 370

2015

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 30.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce GTX 1050 (Mobile) across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 100% higher power demand at 100W vs 50W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 1050 (Mobile) is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 1.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon R7 370 instead at 4,482 vs 4,463, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1050 (Mobile) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 4 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM, a 3nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2015. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon R7 370 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Radeon R7 370 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GTX 1050 (Mobile) has the stronger long-term case.
