Radeon R7 370 vs Tesla K40c: 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 370

2015

Why buy it

  • Costs $7,550 less on MSRP ($149 MSRP vs $7,699 MSRP).
  • Delivers 5052.2% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 30.1 vs 0.6 G3D/$ ($149 MSRP vs $7,699 MSRP).
  • Draws 100W instead of 245W, a 145W reduction.
  • Measures 221mm instead of 267mm, a 46mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

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 K40c

2013

Why buy it

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

Trade-offs

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Tesla K40c is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0.3% in PassMark G3D (4,495 vs 4,482), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon R7 370 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 370 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $7,550 cheaper on MSRP at $149 vs $7,699, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 5052.2% (30.1 vs 0.6), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Tesla K40c still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
