New GPU Asus GT730 vs Gigabyte GT730

[Plummerios]

Hello,

I just built a new pc and everything is brand new except my graphics card. I use my old Gainward GT610. I was thinking of buying a new one(a budget one) and in the category of under 100$, I've found Gigabyte GeForce GT730 2GB (GV-N730D5-2GI) and Asus GeForce GT730 2GB. (I tried searching for the benchmarks, stats and etc. but I have very little knowledge in order to understand those). I play mostly Moba's but I'd like the new graphics card to run some of the few games even at low graphics (I don't mind). So I was wondering which one is better for me? From first sight Gigabyte seems a lot better deal but is the 64-bit Bus that bad? Thank you for your time

PC specs: i5 6600, Asrock Z170 motherboard, 8GB RAM

Gigabyte GeForce GT730 2GB:
Base Clock: 902 MHz
Memory Clock: 5 MHz
Memory bus: 64-bit
Max Resolution: 4096x2160
GDDR5

Asus GeForce GT730 2GB:
Base Clock: 700 MHz
Memory Clock: 1600 MHz
Memory bus: 128-bit
Max Resolution: 2560x1600
GDDR3

P.S If you have any other suggestions feel free to tell me!

The GT 730 is a low end card. Try getting a AMD RX 460 or Nvidia GTX 750Ti atleast if you are on a tight budget.

If you want a GT730, absolutely get the cheapest one you can find. It is a very weak card. Only barely stronger than your i5's integrated graphics. I personally wouldn't waste money on one. The GTX750ti should be under $100 and is the weakest gpu worth spending any money on. You could potentially find a R7 370, GTX950, or RX460 for under $100 too and they're all stronger than the 750ti.

Hmmm I just looked into the GTX 750Ti. Well I guess it isn't much more expensive so I could go for it! I suppose I should go for 2GB and not 1 GB right?

 

[CTurbo]

Yeah the 2GB 750ti would be a huge upgrade for you.

 

[Plummerios]

Okie so I suppose the Gigabyte one should be fine right?

 

[CTurbo]

yep
