Radeon R5 430 vs GeForce GT 730 comparison

For gaming, the GeForce GT 730 graphics card is better than the Radeon R5 430 in our tests.

Our database shows that the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly 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. 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 430 at 50 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the GeForce GT 730 is faster than the Radeon R5 430.
