In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 370X are significantly better than the AMD Radeon R7 360 v3.
The R7 360 has a 50 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon R9 370X, but the Radeon R9 370X has 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the R7 360. As a result, the Radeon R9 370X exhibits a 29.6 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the R7 360. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The R7 360 has a 50 MHz higher core clock speed than the Radeon R9 370X, but the Radeon R9 370X has 16 more Render Output Units than the R7 360. As a result, the Radeon R9 370X exhibits a 15.2 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the R7 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 R7 360, and so they are likely to have similar driver support for optimizing performance when running the latest games.
The Radeon R7 360 v3 and the Radeon R9 370X 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 67.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the R7 360, which means that the memory performance of the Radeon R9 370X is much better than the R7 360.
The Radeon R7 360 v3 has 768 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon R9 370X has 1280. However, the actual shader performance of the R7 360 is 685 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon R9 370X is 1142. 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 R7 360.
The Radeon R7 360 v3 requires 100 Watts to run and the Radeon R9 370X requires 180 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the R7 360 and a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the Radeon R9 370X. The Radeon R9 370X requires 80 Watts more than the R7 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 R7 360.
