Nvidia GT 730 is way better than Nvidia GT 630. I own a GT 630 2GB and it's garbage. Never buy that graphics card if it's just for gaming.

Definitely the GT 730. There are two variants of GT 730. One with GDDR3 and the other with GDDR5. Get the GT 730 2GB GDDR5 which is way better than the GT 730 2GB GDDR3.

GTA V Gaming Benchmark - This guy gets a solid average of 50-60 FPS with medium/high graphical fidelity @720p.

This budget entry level card should be capable enough to play all modern games @720 with at least medium graphical fidelity.

Important Note:

- Update the GT 730 driver to GeForce Game Ready Driver for Grand Theft Auto V (Version 350.12 WHQL) at least - http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/83819/nl-nl

- Check the NVIDIA's Official Grand Theft Auto V PC Graphics & Performance Guide, to squeeze every bit of performance out of GT 730 - http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/grand-theft-auto-v-pc-graphics-and-performance-guide

Which GT 730 to buy? Get this:

MSI N730K-2GD5LP/OC - http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N730K-2GD5LPOC.html#hero-overview

Why MSI Graphics cards?

Because they make stable, durable and performance oriented products with lowest RMAs. See the images below:

specify the card configuration. each has three very different cofigurations offering different levels of performance. i'd say that the gt 730 with 384 cores and GDDR5
vram is faster than the rest of the variations and gt 630. here is a list of all the variation as specified by nvidia:
GeForce GT 730

GeForce GT 630
http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-630/specifications
among these, get the gt 730 with 384 cores and 1GB GDDR5 vram. check the specs on the card box for detailed specs before buying.

You might not be in the US, but here this GT 740 is the same price as some of the GT 730, it is even low profile if you need that.

EVGA 02G-P4-3740-KR GeForce GT 740 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Low Profile Video Card

I try to always respect the wishes of the original poster, but thought this was important. If you can get it for the same price the GT 740 is the better card.
