Radeon R7 360 vs Tesla K40m Performance Spectrum

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.

Radeon R7 360 vs Tesla K40m: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Radeon R7 360

2015

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 28.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($109 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 80W instead of 245W, a 165W reduction.
  • More future proof: GCN 2.0 (2013−2017) on 28nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.

Tesla K40m

2013

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

  • 2013 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 28.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $109 MSRP).
  • 206.3% higher power demand at 245W vs 80W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Tesla K40m is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0.9% in PassMark G3D (3,143 vs 3,116), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon R7 360 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and a newer 2015 generation instead of 2013. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon R7 360 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Tesla K40m still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
