GeForce GT 730 vs Quadro K2100M specs and performance

For gaming, the Quadro K2100M graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 730 in our tests.

In our comparison, the GeForce GT 730 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.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Quadro K2100M at 55 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Quadro K2100M over the GeForce GT 730.
