Radeon RX 580 2048SP vs GeForce GT 730 benchmarks

For gaming, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP graphics card is better than the GeForce GT 730 in our tests.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP 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 Radeon RX 580 2048SP also has a slightly 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 significantly lower TDP at 49 W when compared to the Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 150 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 580 2048SP is better than the GeForce GT 730.
