very little difference

the gt 730 cant effectively use 2g of vram
with settings that require more than that the games fps will tank below 10

if you need a 4g video card, get a gtx 970+ or r9 390+

in terms of budget cards the gt 730 ddr5 will be MUCH faster than 730 4gb ddr3.. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-gpus,4380.html ranks good for playable 720p hd DDR5 ONLY.. a better choice would be r7 360/gtx 750/ti 2gb for decent gaming depending on budget and power supply

also r7 240ddr5 = gt 730 ddr5
r7 250 = hd7750 = gt 650 = gt 740...
r7 260=gtx 750
r7 360=gtx 750ti
r7 370 =gtx 950
r9 380=gtx 960

these are what the cards are closely comparable to
and x version is 10-15% faster than non x ie r7 250x compared to r7 250.. r9 380x vs r9 380

That sure is a rip-off; u can get a GTX 750 Ti for that much.

I would buy a GTX 750 instead its only $5 more on some websites.

You can find GTX 750 Ti 2GB for around $99 USD if u look around

GT 730 is extremely weak; go for a GTX 950. If you cant afford that get a 750Ti but be warned, it's still pretty weak.

a 750 Ti is decent enough
But IF you can, a GTX 950 is a Bit better.

i think GTX 750 ti is fine though itl still give a 45-60fps on modern games on high settings 1080p but since i have a 720p monitor then itl give more by a bit but ye gtx 950 i suppose would give a stable 60fps on modern games and would last for quite a while

The GTX 950 is the fastest budget GPU available. It's performance is similar to a GTX 660 Ti.

But to compare older hardware; a 660 Ti 2GB was generally fine for 1080p gaming on a mix of high/very high (not ultra, but that depends on the game) in say BF3 or BF4.

Now a 750 Ti 2GB can not run nearly as good up against a 660 Ti, especially @ 1080p

But a GTX 950, blows both of those away, quite easily.

That necro though. And bragging about piracy since doesn't own the game, with Spacewar as their most recent game.

Even if the post is from 2016
Two degrees of slow may both be slow, but one is still going to be slower, no?

I noticed when buying my GT 430 ages ago, there was a similar situation. The GT 430 came in variants that had 128-bit or 64-bit bus widths, and they performed vastly differently. nVidia has been doing this forever on the lower end, where the same GPU has different bus widths or DDR types.

For modern games at 1080p , it needs 6/8GB VRAM at least to run on medium settings at least . The fun is the real amount is a bit over 4GB and thus kills the opportunity of any 4GB VRAM GPUs . So 4GB sometimes would force you to run some settings on low , wow ! Any ways , GT 730 is no gaming GPU . Save a little more and get something better .
