Performance Comparison

About G3D Mark

🏆 Chipversus Verdict

⚠️ Generational Difference

The RTXA5000-24Q is significantly newer (2021 vs 2015). The RTXA5000-24Q likely supports modern features like Ray Tracing, Tensor Cores, and DLSS/FSR upscaling, which act as force multipliers for performance. The Radeon R9 370 lacks this hardware feature set, limiting its longevity in modern titles despite any raw power similarities.

🚀 Performance Leadership

The RTXA5000-24Q is the superior choice for raw performance. It leads with a 1.7% higher G3D Mark score. However, the Radeon R9 370 offers more VRAM, which may be beneficial for texture-heavy scenarios at higher resolutions.
