Radeon R5 240 vs GeForce GT 730 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R5 240 GPU is faster than the GeForce GT 730 in gaming.

Our database shows that 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.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Radeon R5 240 at 50 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 Radeon R5 240 is faster than the GeForce GT 730.
