GeForce GT 730 vs GeForce 830M benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the GeForce 830M beats the GeForce GT 730 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce 830M has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

In addition, the GeForce 830M has a significantly lower TDP at 33 W when compared to the GeForce GT 730 at 49 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce 830M is faster than the GeForce GT 730.
