Why would Nvidia release two cards in the same series (i.e. 700 series ) that perform the same? The last two digits of an Nvidia card indicate where it falls within a product series in terms of performance an price; the higher the better. The GT 730 costs more because it's more powerful. Neither are good for modern gaming though, even at low settings.

Well are they close either way?

Look at my link 730 is a bit faster.

 

[maxhunter5353]

I feel like I might as well go for the 730 then.

Yes go for the 730 , it's worth the extra $$$

The GT 730 is about twice as fast on paper.
