Nvidia gt 710 ddr5 vs 730 ddr5

[tarang290103]

Hey,
I am looking forward to upgrade my crappy pc so that I can game a little.
The cards which grabbed my attention were the 2gb gt 710 "ddr5" version
And
2gb Gt 730 "ddr5" version.
Note that both are 2 gb ddr5 only difference is their clock speed and cores.
I thought I can buy 1050 but in my country it is 400$ and only these cards are in 100$ range
Now my question is that is it worth paying extra bucks for 730 or performance difference is minimal.
I was expecting it could run acassins creed origins at 720p lowest at 30fps.
Could they run?
And what will be the difference?
Any amd card in that range?

My rest of the potato is
4gb ddr3 ram

730 is a lot faster than the 710, and would be OK with your i3. Or get a newer 1030. You'd want another 4 GB of RAM also.

Don't get the 710, not even if it has DDR5. On the AMD side the RX 550 is their lower priced card, which can still run some games similarly to the GT 730 DDR5. Of older AMD cards, something like an R7 250x would be around the same level. With these kinds of cards you're looking at 720p gaming for best results. Unless the games are older or less demanding, then 1080p is possible.

Ok another thing!
If I buy 710 then I can put another 4gb ram but with 730.. I don't think so

Can 710 ddr5 paired with 8gb ram outperform 730 ddr5 with 4 GB ram?

 

[tarang290103]

And what about performance in AC origins?
I remember I ran assassin's Creed syndicate with 20 fps with 820m graphics card in laptop with same specs as my desktop.i think 710 and 730 are definitely better than 820m.
I am just aiming at 30fps at 720p
So what do you think?

With the GT 700 series cards, you will 100% struggle very badly running that game, you will most likely not run that game at the 30 fps mark, not even in 800x600 resolution (especially with the GT 710). The least I would recommend would be the GT 1030, which has similar performance to the GTX 750 Ti.

And since this is AC Origins that you are talking about, your CPU will also quite struggle badly in this game, and with 4GB RAM it will be insult to injury. Hell, I mostly get 100% usage on my i7 4770.

Can 710 ddr5 paired with 8gb ram outperform 730 ddr5 with 4 GB ram?

No, it cannot. The GT 710 has even more cores disabled, and there's nothing you can do to change that. And the GT 710 will likely perform the same or slightly better. The GT 730 has GDDR5 memory which is significantly faster than DDR3 any day. You can get another 4GB of RAM another time once you collect more money.

What about this card it's GT 730 4gb ddr5 edition

This 1030 is the same price and is faster https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B071NPW8CK/ref=s9_acsd_ri_bw_c_x_3_w?pf_rd_m=A1VBAL9TL5WCBF&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=DBXYV99GSWXYVK5Z9XKJ&pf_rd_r=DBXYV99GSWXYVK5Z9XKJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=33273103-4c7e-4b13-9e73-4731c3641da4&pf_rd_p=33273103-4c7e-4b13-9e73-4731c3641da4&pf_rd_i=1375354031

The extra memory in the 730 won't help you much on the lower resolutions.

 

[ravenjedmanicdao]

^ I agree. 4GB is way overkill for such a card that will have its GPU utilized way before the entire memory buffer is used. I suggest skipping the Kepler GT cards and move to the Pascal GT 1030, where you can expect near GTX 750 Ti performance.

 

[tarang290103]

Thank you for your suggestions.
I am buying it 1030
Amazing price/performance ratio.
My native res is 900p only so that won't be a problem.but can gt 1030 run on 250w psu?

And and and
But still games like GTA 5 and ac syndicate suggest 3-4gb vram for higher textures
And have a bar for vram size??

Darn! this gpu picking is so troubling.

For your budget forget about getting more RAM in the video card. Your need 8 GB of RAM and on the settings you will play you don't need the extra memory.

 

[ravenjedmanicdao]

Just note that AC Origins is a very, very CPU demanding game, and your CPU will most likely have trouble, since my i7 4770 even reached full usage and slightly bottlenecked my GTX 1080. And as for the vRAM, don't worry too much about it, just tone down the textures and you should be fine.
