Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2014. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF108) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GT 730 has 2 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 800 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 25.6 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GT 730 includes 96 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 700 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GT 730 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, HDMI 1.3a, VGA display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 49 W.
About the NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2010 with a MSRP of $129. It is built on the Fermi GPU microarchitecture (codename GF106) and is manufactured on a 40 nm process.
Memory
The GTS 450 has 1,024 MB of GDDR5 memory, with a 902 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 57.73 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GTS 450 includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 783 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 32 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GTS 450 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI, mini-HDMI 1.3a display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 106 W.
