GT 730 OverClock

[Shadowex99]

Hello. I'm planning to get a GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64Bit and I'm just wondering if this GPU can be overclocked and if so please tell me your highest clocks.

Hi, I just bought this card yesterday, because of the same reasons, budget! i have to say im pleased, i got the 2gig version which is decent i think, when you install the drivers iot does automatically download msi afterburner too so it does allow for instant overclocking, its true that it wont be the best perfomer but i just wanted a cheap graphics card for ps2 emulation and lower and it runs flawlessly for anything like that, i have also tested a free game on steam called Smite and it performed really well. dont be tempted into buying a stronger graphics card if you know it's not what you'll be needing

I would say space constraints would be the main reason to be looking at these card. There are GTX 750's for 80 or less now. Which may be a better option, I ran it because my ITX set up couldn't fit anything else. It has been decent playing rust, counter-strike, payday 2, etc. ~15-30 FPS in rust with different settings, on a 1GB card. It also overclocks pretty nicely. for a 10-20% increase in frame rates in those types of games.

I just Overclocked it to about 1085 MHz, and it was super stable. Temps were normal about 70 -80C, And got a benchmark score of 250 in Unigine's Heaven

well i have a gt 730 gddr5 128 bit from EVGA. i am sure its the best gt 730. i overclocked it to 1250 mHZ core clock and 3000mhz on mem clock with 1125 mv. and its stays @ 80 celsius. going to 1250 from 902 is huge for this card. and its not the best card for 1080p gaming but for 720p it run most games on medium to high settings. ive tested witcher 3 and it runs avg 27 fps @ 720p most of the time. so for a budget build its worth. but spend more and gettin a gtx 750 ti or maybe a rx 460 is great and future proof for budget gaming. 😀

I must say I find it entertaining when everyone else is saying it is not meant for overclocking, which sure it is not, however I have the 2GB GDDR5 version and it is stable at 1302MHz, 400MHz above stock, almost 1 and a half times the original, and it still works(just remember to increase voltage to max which is 1.163v, temperatures only got to 57 c at max). In Dirt rally it increased my average fps from 42.52 up to an incredible 57.86. I know that does not sound very impressive, but this card cost around £60 for me, and it is performing adequately in my gaming rig. I know everyone will say to get a better card, however I am a teenager, and have other expensive hobbies so I can't, also why would I when I can get performance like this, at lower graphical settings, yes, but I am happy with it so who else should care. So anyone who says this card can not be overclocked, it can.

Great news. Can you say which OC software you used? OC Guru II doesn't seem to be able to do anything and is limited as to how much it can OC.

My GT730-SL came with GPU tweak 2 on the installation disc.

Hello. I'm planning to get a GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64Bit and I'm just wondering if this GPU can be overclocked and if so please tell me your highest clocks.

I used EVGA PrecisionX to OC my GT 730, and it's actually pretty good. I don't game much or have anything to compare it to, but my clock speed is now stable at 1.14 Ghz and the memory clock is stable at 1.32 Ghz, with peak voltage 1125mV.

It's still not a fair comparison to cards which are three times the price, although that should hardly be a surprise. I can play Planetside 2 with Medium-high settings and get between 40 and 26 frames per second, although I've now locked it to 30.

Furthermore, it's very impressively cool, never getting hotter than 50 degrees Celsius, even under full load- so I don't think I'm reducing the life of the card.

If anyone wants to copy my settings, I have the fan on auto, 1125mV voltage, GPU offset +238, Mem clock offset +416, no temperature or power target. I've tried higher settings, but any higher offsets caused instability and graphics driver crashes, so those settings are where I'm leaving it for now.

Please tell me what you think, and if it worked for you! There isn't much risk involved with overclocking this if you're careful, but I am NOT responsible if you burn out your card or somehow break it trying this.

BTW I have the EVGA GDDR5 2gb Low-Profile variant. (Sorry for how incoherent this is)

I have the exact same card but i don't use it to game anymore :/ i popped it in my parents computer and let them video stream awayyy. The card will not EVER get past 60C even if you tried because firstly it doesnt have even a 4 pin connector to mess with voltages to the point where it even gets that hot. I gamed on it for about a year and it would get all glitchy so i'd recommend just saving a profile and only switching to it when you need to. I'm just gonna choose a random answer and close this thread off lol.

What did you replace the card with? I'm thinking of getting a second card for my main monitor and use my 730 for my second screen, but I don't know what to buy.

With that said, I don't think I'm going to make a temporary profile because my card is set to be conservative, and if I'm not gaming hovers it around 135-450 Mhz. Regardless of how high it can go, leaving the card with the ability to go that high doesn't mean it runs anywhere near there most of the time. Do you still think I need to use an OC profile only when I need the extra power?
You're right, it can get glitchy, and I've found I need to be very particular about my clock settings and in-game settings in order to make the gameplay smooth- part of why I want a new card.

Thanks a million for the advice!

I upgraded to a Radeon HD 7850 after getting a 750 watt powersupply and then going straight to a GTX 1060. Great cards.

The OC profile really does help. I understand it's kinda tedious because i went through it for a year and a half but it saves you from issues in the future.

I'd call the card an entry level card that plays only pro gaming games like CS:GO and League of legends at max.

I don't know my magic with this card but i play bf4 ultra (not overclocked) 50fps most of the times... 😀 When it comes to a beautiful modded skyrim then it is a small problem i'm sure giving it a bit of overclock can fix it! Overall i have a good time with this card!

Maybe you have the best CPU with the best RAM
