Radeon RX 460 vs GeForce GT 730 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 460 graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 730 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 460 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. Despite this, the GeForce GT 730 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. This is a frequency that can be reached if the GPU is cooled sufficiently and has enough power.

Next up, in terms of GPU memory, the Radeon RX 460 has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the GeForce GT 730 has a significantly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Radeon RX 460 at 75 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 460 is better than the GeForce GT 730.
