GeForce GTS 250 vs GeForce GT 730 GDDR5
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTS 250 |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
Reasons to consider GeForce GT 730 GDDR5 |
112 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTS 250 . |
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
Supports PhysX |
Supports G-Sync |
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Kepler), there are less performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce GT 730 GDDR5
Based on theoretical specifications.
