Performance comparison: which is faster?
Radeon RX 460 (AMD, 2016) and Radeon R7 370 (AMD, 2014) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: RX 460 is about 9.4% faster
Both have 4GB of VRAM, so they support a similar range of generative AI models. 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 | RX 460 | R7 370 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 3,500 | 3,200 |
| VRAM | 4GB | 4GB |
| Manufacturer | AMD | AMD |
| Series | RX 500 | R7 |
| Release Year | 2016 | 2014 |
| Compatible CPU Example | AMD A6-7470K | Core 2 Quad Q9550 |
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | RX 460 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | RX 460 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | R7 370 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
RX 460 is about 9.4% higher by score (RX 460: 3500 points / R7 370: 3200 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.
Both have 4GB of VRAM, so the range of generative AI models they can run is nearly the same.
Using our guideline, AMD A6-7470K pairs well with RX 460 and Core 2 Quad Q9550 with R7 370 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
