Alongside their new Fiji cards, the Radeon R9 Fury X2<\/a>, R9 Fury X<\/a>, R9 Fury and R9 Nano<\/a>, AMD rebranded a number of their 200 series cards as the 300 series, with little more than tweaked power management.<\/p>\n

For example, their Radeon R9\u00a0390X is very nearly the same card as the R9\u00a0290X. And now there\u2019s news of the R7\u00a0370X, and it comes courtesy of the exact same rebrand treatment.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a comparison made by site Expreview<\/a>, it was revealed that the R7\u00a0370X in almost every way a R7\u00a0270X.<\/p>\n

To be honest, it\u2019s a little disappointing. Many assumed that the remaining X variants in the 300 series, the R7\u00a0360X, R7\u00a0370X and R9\u00a0380X, would involve a little more than simple reworks. But alas, that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps that was the plan, but AMD has had a change of heart after NVIDIA\u2019s announcement of the GTX 950<\/a>, the card AMD\u2019s R7\u00a0370X will likely compete with.<\/p>\n

The Trinidad XT-based R7\u00a0370X is based on the R7\u00a0270X\u2019s Pitcairn XT GPU, which means 2.8 billion transistors, 1280 stream processors<\/a>, 80\u00a0TMUs<\/a> and 32 ROPs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The R7\u00a0370X itself will sport a clock speed of 1180\u00a0MHz and a memory clock of 1400 MHz, which means 179.2\u00a0GB\/s bandwidth thanks to its 256-bit bus. However, that\u2019s based on an overclocked model, so the card may have the exact same clock speeds as the R7\u00a0270X: 1000 MHz (base) and 1050 MHz (boost).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s far from exciting stuff.<\/p>\n

Given that the Radeon R7\u00a0370 is priced between R2, 600 and R3, 400, we expect the R7\u00a0370X to start at around R3, 000 and end at R3, 700 or so. So it should fall neatly in range of NVIDIA\u2019s GeForce GTX 950.<\/p>\n

We expect the GTX 950 to be the better performer, but thanks to the newest Catalyst drivers<\/a>, you can Crossfire connect your R7\u00a0370X with your R7\u00a0270X, should you own one, and get a nice performance boost.<\/p>\n

Just be warned that this newest card from AMD, like the R7\u00a0370, is actually twice rebranded<\/a> and so almost the same GPU that can be found in the HD 7850 from 2012 \u2013 that means GCN<\/a> 1.0.<\/p>\n

That means that the card will in all likelihood have no VCE (Video Codec Engine), TrueAudio or FreeSync support.<\/p>\n
