Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Radeon R7 370 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 24.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Quadro P1000 instead at 4,495 vs 4,482, 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?

Quadro P1000 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 4 GB vs 2 GB of VRAM, a 14nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2017 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, Quadro P1000 has the stronger long-term case.
