Which Card is Better?

[Phyra]

I just got a new gaming rig and opened it up to put in a router, and saw the graphics card. It looked pretty eh. It's an INVIDIA GeForce GT 730 apparently. (According to the system info). The other card I have is a MSI GeForce GTX 960.

I was hoping one of you could tell me 1. if it's better than the GT 730, 2. if the GTX 960 is compatible with the specs I'll provide, and 3. if my specs can handle it.

Here's my new computer's specs:

OP: Windows 10
Motherboard: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
Processor: AMD FX 4300 Quad-Core 3.80 GHz
RAM: 8 Gigs
System type: 64bit
Graphics Card: INVIDIA GeForce GT 730

I've heard you can do two cards at a time, but I only got one slot for a GPU, so can't do that.||

Hope to get this figured out soon. Thanks to any who take the time to help!

the GTX 960 is far better card then the GT 730

Post the make/model of the PSU in the system, the GTX 960 uses more then double the power of that GT 730 and while it isn't a lot (120W) you still want to make sure its good enough. As long as the PSU is good then the card will work fine with the other specs of the system.

GTX 960 way way better than GT 730 , but if you can buy go for 1050Ti!

The 960 is far better but you should check that your power supply can handle it.

I don't know the make and model, and I don't feel like opening the tower up again for the fifth time since I got it, but I do know it's 500 watts. I remember checking that.

Well hopefully it's a decent quality unit.

Well hopefully it's a decent quality unit.

Is 500 watts a good amount though? Give or take?

 

[WildCard999]

It is, the 960 requires at least 400W.

Awesome. Thanks for your help!
