HOW TO CHOOSE
Should you choose GTX 650 or GT 730?
A useful choice depends on performance, memory, power, price, and the games or workloads you actually use.
Start with measured performance
GTX 650 has a median Graphics score of 540 versus 311 for GT 730, a lead of about 74% in this synthetic workload. Treat a result within roughly three percent as effectively close in this synthetic workload.
Check memory and power
GTX 650 lists 1 GB GDDR5 and 65 W graphics power; GT 730 lists 2 GB DDR3 and 49 W. Board-partner models can use different coolers, limits, and connectors.
Verify the exact game and price
This comparison does not invent FPS or value claims. Check independent testing for your games and resolution, then compare the current prices of the exact cards available to you.
