AMD preparing Radeon R7 370X to counter GTX 950

Radeon R7 270X rebrand

AMD is apparently preparing yet another graphics card that will be a part of its new Radeon 300 series lineup, the Radeon R7 370X.

According to a post over at Videocardz.com and details coming from Expreview.com, the Radeon R7 370X should be a direct competitor to the upcoming Geforce GTX 950 and be based on the Trinidad XT GPU. It will pack 1280 Stream Processors, 32 ROPs and 80 TMUs and pack 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface.

This also means that the upcoming Radeon R7 370X is pretty much a direct rebrand of the Radeon R9 270X graphics card and it appears that AMD will stick to the same GPU and memory clocks of 1000MHz for the GPU base and 1050MHz for the GPU boost clocks while memory will be clocked at 1400MHz (5.6GHz effective).

The leaked GPU-Z screenshot on Expreview.com shows a factory overclocked graphics card working at 1180MHz for the GPU. The Radeon R7 370X will also need two 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors and have a 150W TDP.

While there are still no precise details regarding the availability date or the price, you can expect the R7 370X to hit the market at somewhere around US $179 and should appears sometime next month, at least if AMD wants to directly compete with the Geforce GTX 950.
