GPU: GeForce GT 430 to GT 740 - worthwhile to upgrade?

[slavag]

Currently have a HTPC with a GeForce GT 430 installed. Would I get any noticeable benefit from upgrading to a GT 740? Looking to play some 2-3 year old games off Steam. I understand both cards are low level, but I was wondering if there would be any worthwhile improvement in going to the GT 740. Would need to stay with compact low profile cards.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, that would be a worthwhile upgrade. Especially if the GT 740 was the DDR5 version. Here is a hierarchy chart of gaming gfx cards. As stated, you need to move at least 3 tiers to see a worthwhile improvement.

GT 430 to GT 740 (DDR3) = 5 tiers
GT 430 to GT 740 (DDR5) = 8 tiers
