ASUS Radeon R7-370 STRIX Review -
Introduction
We review the AMD Radeon R7-370 series. That means 1080P gaming will become in reach at an affordable 149 USD price level. Based on older architecture this product now is reinjected as the 370 series, performing close to the 270 series yet with 4GB of graphics memory.
First off a note - we received the driver and reviewers information for the entire 300 series product line-up yesterday at an AMD event. So for this review we got less than 6 hours left for launch time. While the 380 and 390 reviews are fully in-depth, this one merelyy functions as a quick overview of tech and performance, a bit rushed as such. For that our apologies as it certainly isn't our style.The Radeon R7-370 as tested today is fitted with a total of 1024 Stream processors, a compute performance of 2 TFlops, 4 GB of GDDR5 memory (256-bit) and a relatively TDP of 110W which will be supplied through a single 6-Pin power connector. For those that get a bit of a deja-vu, yes that is very comparable to Pitcairn Pro aka the Radeon HD 7850. It's a similar yet slightly revised GPU being used, yet tweaked on the clocks and seated onto a new PCB. The clocks are set at a maximum of 975 MHz boost for the graphics core on the reference product, this ASUS model is running 1050 MHz. The memory operates at 5.6 GHz effective clock speed alongside a 256-bit memory interface. The card is PCI-Express 3.0 compatible. Equipped with AMD’s Graphics Core Next Architecture the R7-370 is ready for gaming on a budget, this is a sub 150 USD product. The AMD Radeon R7-370 graphics card is AMD CrossFire compatible as well AMD Eyefinity Technology and AMD ZeroCore Power ready. The card would be a nice HTPC card as well, but you can certainly play games with it as well if you stay away from the highest resolutions of course.
As stated these product are injected into the 149 USD price bracket, much like the similar specced R7 265 was introduced at 149 USD two years ago. You will start seeing availability ny next week. Have a peek at the card first though. We received a model from ASUS running slightly higher clock frequencies, of course. This is the STRIX model.
Let's head on-wards into the review ... and again, this is a bit of a rushed review, apologies for that.
