In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 370X are significantly better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 940 2GB.

The GT 940 has no core clock speed set, so any comparison between Texture and Pixel Fill Rates is not currently possible.

The GT 940 was released over a year more recently than the Radeon R9 370X, and so the GT 940 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the Radeon R9 370X.

The Radeon R9 370X and the GeForce GT 940 2GB have the same amount of video memory, but are likely to provide slightly different experiences when displaying game textures at high resolutions.

The Radeon R9 370X has 99.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GT 940, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon R9 370X is massively better than the GT 940.

The Radeon R9 370X has 1280 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 940 2GB has 512. However, the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 370X is 1142 and the actual shader performance of the GT 940 is 0. The Radeon R9 370X having 1142 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the Radeon R9 370X delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GT 940.

The Radeon R9 370X requires 180 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 940 2GB requires 60 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the Radeon R9 370X and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 940. The Radeon R9 370X requires 120 Watts more than the GT 940 to run. The difference is significant enough that the Radeon R9 370X may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GT 940.
