GeForce GTX 760

2013

Why buy it

✅Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than Radeon R9 370 across 17 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2013-era hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌
67.1% HIGHER MSRP
$249 MSRPvs$149 MSRP
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 19.3 vs 31.7 G3D/$ ($249 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
❌54.5% higher power demand at 170W vs 110W.

Radeon R9 370

2015

Why buy it

✅3.9% more average FPS across 17 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $100 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).
✅Delivers 64% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 31.7 vs 19.3 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $249 MSRP).
✅Draws 110W instead of 170W, a 60W reduction.
✅Measures 221mm instead of 241mm, a 20mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Quick Answers

So, is Radeon R9 370 better than GeForce GTX 760?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. Radeon R9 370 averages 3.9% more FPS across 17 tracked games in our benchmark data. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 4,813 vs 4,722 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Radeon R9 370 is the overall package: you are getting a newer generation, FSR upscaling, plus much lower power draw (110W vs 170W).

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce GTX 760 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting the stronger feature stack with no meaningful modern upscaling stack instead of FSR upscaling. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Radeon R9 370 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $149 MSRP. Radeon R9 370 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Radeon R9 370 is about $100 cheaper on MSRP at $149 MSRP versus $249 MSRP, and you are getting 3.9% more estimated average FPS across 17 tracked games in our benchmark data and a lower G3D Mark (4,722 vs 4,813). GeForce GTX 760 is the more forward-looking alternative, so it still has a real case if you care more about future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does GeForce GTX 760 make more sense than Radeon R9 370?

Yes. GeForce GTX 760 is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is future-proofing and staying closer to $249 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Radeon R9 370. The trade-off is that Radeon R9 370 currently gives you a lower G3D Mark (4,722 vs 4,813) and 3.9% more estimated average FPS across 17 tracked games in our benchmark data. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 64%.
