About the AMD Radeon R7 370 GPU

The AMD Radeon R7 370 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2015 with a MSRP of $149. It is built on the GCN 1.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Trinidad) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R7 370 has 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,400 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 179.2 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R7 370 includes 1,024 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 925 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 975 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 64 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The R7 370 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 110 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The R7 370 has the 196th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 8.14% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 8,518.5 score and $149 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 57.17. This is the 59th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon HD 6450 GPU

The AMD Radeon HD 6450 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2011 with a MSRP of $55. It is built on the TeraScale 2 GPU microarchitecture (codename Caicos) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.

Memory

The HD 6450 has 512 MB of DDR3, GDDR5 memory, with a 500 MHz memory clock and a 64 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The HD 6450 includes 160 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 625 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The HD 6450 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.3a, VGA display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 18 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The HD 6450 has the 500th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 0.60% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 623 score and $55 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 11.33. This is the 96th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
