In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 370X are significantly better than the AMD Radeon R9 360 (OEM).
The Radeon R9 370X and the R9 360 have the same core clock speed of 1000 MHz, but the Radeon R9 370X has 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the R9 360. As a result, the Radeon R9 370X exhibits a 32 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the R9 360. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The Radeon R9 370X and the R9 360 have the same core clock speed of 1000 MHz, but the Radeon R9 370X has 16 more Render Output Units than the R9 360. As a result, the Radeon R9 370X exhibits a 16 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the R9 360. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The Radeon R9 370X was released less than a year after the R9 360, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The Radeon R9 370X and the Radeon R9 360 (OEM) 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 75.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the R9 360, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon R9 370X is much better than the R9 360.
The Radeon R9 370X has 1280 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 360 (OEM) has 768. However, the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 370X is 1142 and the actual shader performance of the R9 360 is 685. The Radeon R9 370X having 457 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 R9 360.
The Radeon R9 370X requires 180 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 360 (OEM) requires 85 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the Radeon R9 370X and a PSU with at least 450 Watts for the R9 360. The Radeon R9 370X requires 95 Watts more than the R9 360 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 R9 360.

| Mini Review | Overview Radeon R9 370X is a Performance Graphics Card based on the First Revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture Radeon R9 370X Features a GPU Codenamed Trinidad XT which is a First Gen GCN GPU. It is essentially a Pitcairn XT GPU like seen on Radeon HD 7870. As a result, it doesn't support for modern technologies like TrueAudio, ZeroPower or Powertune. Trinidad XT has 20 Compute Units Unlocked and offers 1280 Shader Processing Units, 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit is Initially Clocked at 1000MHz and goes up to 1050MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with fast GDDR5 and Accesses the Frame Buffer through a 256-bit Memory Interface. The Memory Clock Operates at 1400MHz. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 2GB. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 110W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with one available 6-pin connector. Performance Performance is identical to Radeon R9 270X. System Suggestions Radeon R7 370X is best suited for resolutions up to and including 1920x1080. We recommend a Performance Processor and 8GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | Overview Radeon R9 360 (OEM) is an OEM only, Fast-Middle-Class Graphics Card based on the second revision of the Graphics Core Next Architecture. Architecture The GCN 1.1 revision of the Graphics Core Next Architecture adds new important technologies and is largely oriented for energy efficiency. New technologies such as PowerTune and TrueAudio are the biggest additions as well as DirectX 11.2 support. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed Tobago PRO which is essentially a cut-down version of the Bonaire XTX GPU previously used on Radeon R7 260X. It offers 768 Shader Processing Units, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs. The central unit runs at 1000MHz and goes up to 1050MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 2GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1625MHz. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 85W, it requires at least a 450W PSU with one available 6-pin connectors. Performance Radeon R9 360 (OEM) is a cut-down power optimized Radeon R7 260X. Therefore, its performance stands somewhere between Radeon R7 260X and the weaker Radeon R7 260. System Suggestions We recommend a Strong Dual Core Processor (Intel Core i3 Quad Core/AMD FX Quad Core) and 8GB of RAM for a system with Radeon R9 360 (OEM). | |||
