About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

Head-to-Head Verdict, Benchmarks, Value & Long-Term Outlook

This comparison brings together gaming FPS, raw graphics performance, VRAM, feature set, power efficiency, pricing context, and long-term value so you can see which GPU actually makes more sense.

GeForce RTX 4060

2023

Why buy it

  • +336.1% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 117.3% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 65.4 vs 30.1 G3D/$ ($299 MSRP vs $149 MSRP).
  • Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • 300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 2 GB).
  • More future proof: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 15% higher power demand at 115W vs 100W.

Radeon R7 370

2015

Why buy it

  • Costs $150 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).
  • Draws 100W instead of 115W, a 15W reduction.
  • Measures 221mm instead of 240mm, a 19mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,482 vs 19,548).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
  • Very weak future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 30.1 vs 65.4 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $299 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 4060 better than Radeon R7 370?
Yes. GeForce RTX 4060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 19,548 vs 4,482 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 4060 is a 2023 card with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation, while Radeon R7 370 is a 2015 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2023 generation instead of 2015, 336.1% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 GB, and better frame-generation support with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023) instead of FSR upscaling. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 4060 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 4060 is about 100.7% more expensive on MSRP at $299 MSRP versus $149 MSRP, and you are getting 336.1% higher G3D Mark. Radeon R7 370 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.
Is Radeon R7 370 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
No, not for a fresh gaming build. Radeon R7 370 is 2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 4,482 in G3D Mark, and FSR upscaling. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

A critical advantage for the GeForce RTX 4060 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. This allows it to generate entire frames using AI/Algorithms, essentially doubling the frame rate in CPU-bound scenarios or heavy ray-tracing titles. The Radeon R7 370 lacks specific hardware/driver support for this native frame generation tier.The GeForce RTX 4060 gives access to NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), widely regarding as the superior upscaling method for image quality. The Radeon R7 370 relies on FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution), which is capable but generally slightly noisier than DLSS in motion.
