The GeForce GT 730 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on June 18th, 2014. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF108 graphics processor, in its GF108-400-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GF108 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 116 mm² and 585 million transistors. It features 96 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB DDR3 memory with the GeForce GT 730, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 700 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz. If you are in the market looking for a budget graphics cards to drive your today’s gaming requirement at higher resolution, then this card may not be adequate for your requirement.

The game was tested on Low settings at 1280×720 resolution. 35.5 FPS was the count and gameplay was not pleasing at all. DOOM The GeForce GT 730 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on June 18th, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GK208B graphics processor, in its GK208-302-B1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GK208B graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 87 mm² and 1,020 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,024 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GT 730, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 902 MHz, memory is running at 1253 MHz (5 Gbps effective). This game was tested at Normal settings on 1280×720 resolution. 24.8 FPS was the count. Rise of the Tomb Raider As expected, there is no power connector on this card. It is taking 75W from the PCIe slot of the motherboard. The card is featuring the Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable 2 technology. It is using Low RDS (on) MOSFET Design and Ferrite Core Choke Design to minimize the power loss and all solid capacitors design. Gigabyte GT 730 Review is based on Kepler architecture. Since we are ready to welcome the new generation from Nvidia and already have seen Maxwell and Pascal, I will not be discussing the Kepler architecture here. GT 730 features GK208 chip from Nvidia having a 28nm technology and 87mm² die size.

The test was run on 720P Low and I have included the FPS numbers in the graph as well to indicate its gaming performance. Battlefield 1 Gigabyte GT 730 is a media accelerator graphics card coming from Nvidia’s GT series of cards. It is there to accelerate the multimedia performance of the given system using the dedicated card and to improve the gaming performance over the integrated graphics. This card is featuring the GK208 chip from the Nvidia with 28nm technology and 87 mm² die size. It has 8 ROPs and 32 TMUs.

GT 730 card is intended for multimedia and rendering purposes than gaming and this is where this card would shine in particular. If you are in the market looking for media accelerator or looking for a card with better performance than the integrated graphics, you may want to take a look at the Gigabyte GT 730. The maximum temperature on the card was 61°C under stress testing. This was with the ambient temperature of 35°C. Though I did not measure the acoustic of the fan, it was silent. The card was tested on the open air test bench system which is close to where I sit. Under load, the system was drawing power of 290W. Mind you this is with the 140W TDP CPU. Conclusion DOOM was tested using Vulcan API and Low settings at 1280×720 resolution. 22 FPS was the count. Grand Theft Auto – V Since this is a graphics accelerator, I ran the Cloud Gate, Sky Diver benchmarks on it. Just for a reference purpose, Firestrike was also run on this gigabyte gt 730 card review. Unigine Superposition The card comes in a standard cardboard box. On the top side, there is a Gigabyte brand name printed on the top left. 2GB DDR3 is printed in a stamped format on the left side. The card is compliant with PCIe 3.0 motherboards. Card’s model no is printed on the bottom right side. 2048MB DDR3 is printed on the bottom right side.This game was tested at low settings on 1280×720 resolution. 22.8 FPS was the count.
