Performance comparison: which is faster?
Radeon R7 360 (AMD, 2014) and Radeon HD 6770 (AMD, 2011) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: R7 360 is about 13.6% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM R7 360（2GB） has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | R7 360 | HD 6770 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 2,500 | 2,200 |
| VRAM | 2GB | 1GB |
| Manufacturer | AMD | AMD |
| Series | R7 | HD 6000 |
| Release Year | 2014 | 2011 |
| Compatible CPU Example | AMD Athlon II X3 445 | AMD Athlon II X2 250 |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on R7 360 also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | R7 360 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | R7 360 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | HD 6770 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
R7 360 is about 13.6% higher by score (R7 360: 2500 points / HD 6770: 2200 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
R7 360 has 2GB of VRAM, while HD 6770 has 1GB; R7 360 has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, AMD Athlon II X3 445 pairs well with R7 360 and AMD Athlon II X2 250 with HD 6770 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
