Radeon R7 430 vs GeForce GT 730 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 430 beats the GeForce GT 730 in gaming performance.

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 maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Radeon R7 430 at 50 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon R7 430 over the GeForce GT 730.
