GeForce GTX 690 vs GeForce GT 730
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 690 |
| 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| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Kepler), there are less performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider GeForce GT 730 |
| 251 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 690 . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Supports PhysX |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 690
