In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 Ti 4GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon R9 370X.
The GTX 960 Ti has a 50 MHz higher core clock speed and 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the Radeon R9 370X. This results in the GTX 960 Ti providing 20.8 GTexel/s better texturing performance. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 960 Ti has a 50 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Render Output Units than the Radeon R9 370X. This results in the GTX 960 Ti providing 35.2 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The GTX 960 Ti was released less than a year after the Radeon R9 370X, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The GTX 960 Ti has 2048 MB more video memory than the Radeon R9 370X, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 960 Ti also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 960 Ti has 45.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon R9 370X, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 960 Ti is noticeably better than the Radeon R9 370X.
The Radeon R9 370X has 1280 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 960 Ti 4GB has 1536. However, the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 370X is 1142 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 960 Ti is 1809. The GTX 960 Ti having 667 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 960 Ti delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon R9 370X.
The Radeon R9 370X requires 180 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 960 Ti 4GB requires 140 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 GTX 960 Ti. The Radeon R9 370X requires 40 Watts more than the GTX 960 Ti to run. The difference is significant enough that the Radeon R9 370X may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GTX 960 Ti.

| 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 GeForce GTX 960 Ti 4GB is an upcoming high-end Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Maxwell architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Maxwell Architecture succeeds the Kepler Architecture. Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed GM204-200-KD which has 12 SM activated and thus offers 1536 Shader Processing Units, 96 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The central unit runs at ????MHz and goes up to ????MHz, in Turbo Mode. Memory The GPU accesses a 4GB frame buffer of fast GDDR5, through a 256-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 1753MHz. Features DirectX 12.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for SLI, GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 140W, it requires at least a 450W PSU with one available 6-pin connector. Performance Coming Soon! System Suggestions We recommend a very strong processor (Intel Core i5 Quad Core/AMD FX Eight Core) and 8GB of RAM for a system with GeForce GTX 960 Ti 2GB. | |||
