GeForce GT 730 vs GeForce 930MX comparison

For gaming, the GeForce 930MX graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 730 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce 930MX 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 930MX has a significantly lower TDP at 17 W when compared to the GeForce GT 730 at 49 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the GeForce 930MX is better than the GeForce GT 730.
