GeForce GTX 960 vs GeForce GT 730: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce GTX 960 vs GeForce GT 730
The GeForce GTX 960 is dramatically faster, around 400% ahead of the GeForce GT 730. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to entry-level 1080p. The GeForce GTX 960 packs 1,024 CUDA cores versus 384 on the GeForce GT 730.
Price & Value
Right now the GeForce GT 730 starts at $58 GBP against $343 GBP for the GeForce GTX 960. Despite being slower, the GeForce GT 730 offers the better performance-per-dollar (~18% better value), so budget-focused buyers should weigh it carefully. The GeForce GTX 960 still sits about $144 GBP above its $199 GBP MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
The GeForce GT 730 pulls less power (25W vs 120W), so it's the easier card to cool and the lighter load on your PSU. The faster GeForce GTX 960 draws more overall but extracts more performance from each watt — plan for a sturdier power supply if you pick it. Its more modern Maxwell architecture on a TSMC 28nm process is part of why it does more with each watt.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
With 2GB against 1GB, the GeForce GTX 960 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 960's memory is also faster — 112 GB/s versus 14 GB/s (128-bit vs 64-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: GeForce GTX 960 or GeForce GT 730?
Choose the GeForce GTX 960 if you want the most performance and can absorb the higher price. If you're optimizing for value, the GeForce GT 730 stretches your money further for only slightly lower performance.
