MSI Radeon R7 370 Gaming 2GB Video Card Review

Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V, currently one of the hottest PC games, was finally released for the PC on April 14, 2015. Developed by Rockstar, it is set in 2013 and the city of Los Santos. It utilizes the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) which Rockstar has been using since 2006, with multiple updates for technology improvements.

In Grand Theft Auto V we set the game to run with no MSAA with 16x AF and high image quality settings as we didn’t want the GPU to bottleneck the system too bad, but wanted a setup that your average gamer would actually play on.

Benchmark Results: In GTA V we ran the games built-in benchmark three times and averaged the numbers. The ASUS GeForce GTX 950 STRIX had a 70 FPS average versus the 64 FPS average on the MSI Radeon R7 370 Gaming 2G. The MSI Radeon R7 370 had the same peak frame rate as as the GeForce GTX 950, but the minimum was 24% lower and we care more about the minimums than anything else as that is usually when you notice a jitter or rough gameplay.
