You can find 64bit-bus versions which have higher figures, but these, crucially, will be hampered by their narrow buses. The GF108 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 116 mm² and 585 million transistors.

Engineered with a highly-efficient 0dB thermal design, it dissipates heat in complete silence — making GT 730 the perfect choice for your slimline home-theater PC (HTPC) build.

The benchmark score for a component shown on this page is the median of all the results submitted by users with the same hardware. As it turns out though, most 730 card manufacturers have decided to use the 64bit interface, regardless of whether there’s 1GB or 2GB onboard. It is there to accelerate the multimedia performance of the given system using the dedicated card and to improve the gaming performance over the integrated graphics. The GK208B graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 87 mm² and 1,020 million transistors.

Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 38 W maximum. Its three ports number one each of DVI, HDMI, and VGA, and no extra connectors are required from the PSU. Auto-Extreme​ Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. It is using Low RDS (on) MOSFET Design and Ferrite Core Choke Design to minimize the power loss and all solid capacitors design. Note: The below specifications represent this GPU as incorporated into NVIDIA's reference graphics card design.NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB DDR3 memory with the GeForce GT 730, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface.

And even the Radeon R7 240 – which retails for less, but also has the 128bit bus – offers a core clock of 780MHz. Meet Nauman Siddique, a highly experienced computer science graduate with more than 15 years of knowledge in technology. As a tech tester, insightful reviewer, and skilled hardware editor, Nauman carefully breaks down important parts like motherboards, graphics cards, processors, PC cases, CPU coolers, and more. The GT 730 does have more stream processors than the Radeon R7 240 – 384 to 320 – but the card is otherwise fairly standard.Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF108 graphics processor, in its GF108-400-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Added to this, the Radeon touts more texture units (20 rather than 16) than the 730, and you have a card that struggles on fill rates. The test was run on 720P Low and I have included the FPS numbers in the graph as well to indicate its gaming performance.

This isn’t as easy to find as the 730 with a 64bit memory bus, but it’ll produce superior performance for a little extra. The latest iteration of the ASUS GeForce® GT 730 features a revised GPU clock frequency profile that reduces power consumption by 17%, making it the ideal graphics card for ultra-compact rigs and low-noise HTPCs.If you are in the market looking for a budget graphics cards to drive your today’s gaming requirement at higher resolution, then this card may not be adequate for your requirement. This amounts to far more flexibility in the case of the MSI GT 730 and, in our opinion, a 128bit bus is a must-have. Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 49 W maximum. It allows you to tweak critical parameters including GPU core clocks, memory frequency, and voltage settings, with the option to monitor everything in real-time through a customizable on-screen display. It also has GPU Tweak II with Xsplit Gamecaster, provides intuitive performance tweaking and lets you stream your gameplay instantly.
