Radeon R7 450 vs GeForce GT 730 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon R7 450 graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 730 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 450 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.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, they both have the same amount of memory at 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Radeon R7 450 at 65 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 450 over the GeForce GT 730.
