GeForce GT 730 vs GeForce GTX 1060 5GB comparison

In our benchmarks, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB beats the GeForce GT 730 in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB has a significantly 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. In addition, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GT 730 has a significantly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB at 120 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GTX 1060 5GB is faster than the GeForce GT 730.
