Radeon R5 340 vs GeForce GT 730 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R5 340 beats the GeForce GT 730 in gaming performance.

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. In addition, the GeForce GT 730 also has a significantly 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 GeForce GT 730 has a slightly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Radeon R5 340 at 65 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R5 340 is faster than the GeForce GT 730.
