GeForce GTX 590 vs Radeon R9 370X
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 590 |
Supports PhysX |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider Radeon R9 370X |
185 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 590 . |
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 ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Supports Mantle |
Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends Radeon R9 370X
Based on theoretical specifications.
