| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
| Supports FreeSync |
| Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
| Infinity Cache allows to deliver up to 3.25x the effective memory bandwidth |
| Supports DirectX Raytracing (DXR) |
Reasons to consider GeForce GT 740 |
| 96 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the Radeon RX 6600 XT . |
| 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| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Kepler), there are less performance optimizations for current games and applications |
