GeForce 9500 GT Mac Edition vs Radeon R9 360 OEM
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce 9500 GT Mac Edition |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
| PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
Reasons to consider Radeon R9 360 OEM |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports FreeSync |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Supports TrueAudio |
| Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends Radeon R9 360 OEM
Based on theoretical specifications.
