GeForce GTX 960 vs UHD 730 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GTX 960 graphics card is better than the UHD 730 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GTX 960 has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. Despite this, the UHD 730 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the UHD 730 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the GeForce GTX 960 at 120 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 GTX 960 is better than the UHD 730.
