About this deal

This game was tested at low settings on 1280×720 resolution. 22.8 FPS was the count. Call of Duty: WWII 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 GT series of graphics cards from Nvidia are rather Graphics Accelerator rather than gaming. The GT 730 is not an exception to that. Nvidia targeted the GT 730 to accelerate the multimedia experience using the dedicated graphics card and to deliver 3x faster gaming performance than the integrated graphics. The Gigabyte GT 730 Review GV-N730D3-2GI is Gigabyte’s take on the GEFORCE GT 730. It has 384 shader units with pixel fillrate of 7.2 GP/s and Texture fillrate of 28.9 GT/s. This card has 2GB Samsung DDR3 chips with 64-bit interface with the bandwidth of 14.4 GB/s. This card supports DX12 and DX11. It supports PCIe 2.0 bus in addition to being compatible with the PCIe 3.0 motherboards. DOOM was tested using Vulcan API and Low settings at 1280×720 resolution. 22 FPS was the count. Grand Theft Auto – V

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. 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 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. There is a single 3-pin header on the left side of the fan to power up the fan. The fan is throwing fresh air directly on the GPU, VRAM and power delivery sub-components on the PCB. There are pinout reading points on the right side of the PCB for additional referencing. The game was tested on Low settings at 1280×720 resolution. 35.5 FPS was the count and gameplay was not pleasing at all. DOOMAs a tech tester, insightful reviewer, and skilled hardware editor, Nauman carefully breaks down important parts like motherboards, graphics cards, processors, PC cases, CPU coolers, and more. 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 Grand Theft Auto – V was tested at low setting without FXAA and MSAA at 1280×720 resolution. 49.16 FPS was the count. It was the only game with decent FPS though gameplay at lower resolution was not pleasing. Sniper Elite 4

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. 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.

Previously Unigine Heaven and Valley were a part of our testing but they have been dropped and only superposition will be featured from onwards. Let’s take a look at graphs. 3dMark 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 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 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
