GeForce GT 730 vs Radeon Vega 3 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the GeForce GT 730 GPU is faster than the Radeon Vega 3 in gaming.

Our database shows that the GeForce GT 730 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 GT 730 also 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 Radeon Vega 3 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 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 GT 730 is faster than the Radeon Vega 3.
