Radeon R9 390X vs GeForce GT 730: In-Depth Breakdown

Performance: Radeon R9 390X vs GeForce GT 730

The Radeon R9 390X is dramatically faster, around 800% ahead of the GeForce GT 730. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p.

Price & Value

The GeForce GT 730 currently lists from $60 EUR, $43 EUR less than the Radeon R9 390X at $103 EUR. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon R9 390X wins on performance-per-dollar by about 426%. The Radeon R9 390X is trading below its $429 EUR MSRP — a genuine deal.

Power & Efficiency

At 25W against 275W, the GeForce GT 730 is both the lower-power and the more efficient card, making it the easier build to cool and power.

VRAM & Future-Proofing

The Radeon R9 390X carries 8GB versus 1GB on the GeForce GT 730. The extra 7GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.

Features & Ecosystem

Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce GT 730 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon R9 390X offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.

Which should you buy: GeForce GT 730 or Radeon R9 390X?

The Radeon R9 390X is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the GeForce GT 730 if you find it at a steep discount.
