GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GT 730: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 980 vs GeForce GT 730
The GeForce GTX 980 is dramatically faster, around 1100% ahead of the GeForce GT 730. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 980 packs 2,048 CUDA cores versus 384 on the GeForce GT 730.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GT 730 pulls less power (25W vs 165W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 980 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 4GB against 1GB, the GeForce GTX 980 has more headroom for 4K textures and memory-hungry creative/AI tasks where the GeForce GT 730's 1GB can fall short. The GeForce GTX 980's memory is also faster — 224 GB/s versus 14 GB/s (256-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GT 730 or GeForce GTX 980?
The GeForce GTX 980 is the faster card by about 1100%. With live pricing limited for this pair, base your decision on the spec differences above — particularly VRAM and power draw — and check current stock before buying.
