NVIDIA GeForce GT 730A: specs and benchmarks
Aggregated performance score
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce GT 730A sales 1 July 2014. This is a Kepler 2.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 2 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 2 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 16.02 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x8 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 33 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 1.92% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
