In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 Nano 4GB are significantly better than the AMD Radeon R9 370X.
The Radeon R9 370X and the R9 Nano have the same core clock speed of 1000 MHz, but the R9 Nano has 176 more Texture Mapping Units than the Radeon R9 370X. As a result, the R9 Nano exhibits a 176 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the Radeon R9 370X. 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 Nano have the same core clock speed of 1000 MHz, but the R9 Nano has 32 more Render Output Units than the Radeon R9 370X. As a result, the R9 Nano exhibits a 32 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the Radeon R9 370X. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
Both the Radeon R9 370X and the Radeon R9 Nano 4GB were released at the same time, so are likely to be quite similar.
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 R9 Nano 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 R9 Nano also has superior memory performance overall.
The R9 Nano has 332.8 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the Radeon R9 370X, which means that the memory performance of the R9 Nano is massively better than the Radeon R9 370X.
The Radeon R9 370X has 1280 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 Nano 4GB has 4096. However, the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 370X is 1142 and the actual shader performance of the R9 Nano is 3482. The R9 Nano having 2340 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the R9 Nano 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 Radeon R9 Nano 4GB requires 175 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the Radeon R9 370X and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the R9 Nano. The Radeon R9 370X requires 5 Watts more than the R9 Nano to run. The difference is not significant enough for the Radeon R9 370X to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the R9 Nano.

| 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 Nano 4GB is an Enthusiast Graphics Card based on the Third Revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture The Fiji is a Second Generation GCN GPU. It offers support for HBM-1 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Open GL 4.5 and the acclaimed Delta Compression Algorithm which may decrease bandwidth consumption by up to 30%, in most games. Fiji XT is the Full Variant of the GPU with 64 Compute Units activated, offering 4096 Shader Processing Units, 256 TMUs and 64 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1000MHz. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with stacked HBM-1 Memory and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 4096-bit memory interface. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 4GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However, and because the GPU itself is aimed for 4K Gaming, 4GB might be a bottlenecked and Performance could be better, were the Frame Buffer larger. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 175W, it requires at least a 500W PSU with one available 8-pin connector. Performance Because the Central Unit's Speed varies from game to game, performance depends heavily on the game being played. Overall, expect performance similar to GeForce GTX 980 at 1080p and close to Radeon Fury in 1440p and 3K. System Suggestions Radeon R9 Nano 4GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 3840x2160. We recommend a High-End Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | |||
