GPUSED’S TAKE

The verdict

The 2GB GDDR5 GT 730 was the version of this confusing family with a credible lightweight-gaming argument. It was still an entry card, but direct comparisons found it substantially ahead of DDR3 GT 730s. Check the memory type before treating two GT 730 listings as peers.
