Verdict

The AMD Radeon R7 360 is a budget-friendly graphics card launched in June 2015, utilizing the Tobago GPU core based on GCN 2.0 architecture and a 28 nm manufacturing process. It features 2 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus with a bandwidth of up to 112 GB/s, alongside 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. Main characteristics include a base clock of 1,000 MHz (boostable to 1,050 MHz) and support for DirectX 12 and AMD FreeSync, making it a capable option for entry-level 1080p gaming and popular MOBA titles. Its primary pros are its affordable launch price of $109, a compact single-slot design ideal for small form factor cases, and broad compatibility due to needing only a single 6-pin power connector with a 100W TDP. However, notable cons include its limited 2 GB VRAM which struggles with modern texture-heavy titles, the card's age placing it into a legacy support model with no further driver updates, and its general inability to maintain smooth performance in demanding triple-A games at high settings.
