In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GT 730 v2 Gigabyte Rev 2.0 2GB Edition are noticeably better than the AMD Radeon HD 4670 1GB.

The GT 730 has a 152 MHz higher core clock speed than the HD 4670, but the HD 4670 has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GT 730. As a result, the HD 4670 exhibits a 9.6 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GT 730. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.

The GT 730 has a 152 MHz higher core clock speed than the HD 4670 and the same number of Render Output Units. This results in the GT 730 providing 1.2 GPixel/s better pixeling performance. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.

The GT 730 was released over three years more recently than the HD 4670, and so the GT 730 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the HD 4670 when running the latest games.

The GT 730 has 1024 MB more video memory than the HD 4670, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GT 730 also has superior memory performance overall.

The GT 730 has 14.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the HD 4670, which means that the memory performance of the GT 730 is slightly better than the HD 4670.

The GeForce GT 730 v2 Gigabyte Rev 2.0 2GB Edition has 384 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 4670 1GB has 320. However, the actual shader performance of the GT 730 is 346 and the actual shader performance of the HD 4670 is 168. The GT 730 having 178 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GT 730 delivers a marginally smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the HD 4670.

The GT 730 transistor size technology is 27 nm (nanometers) smaller than the HD 4670. This means that the GT 730 is expected to run slightly cooler and achieve higher clock frequencies than the HD 4670.

The GeForce GT 730 v2 Gigabyte Rev 2.0 2GB Edition requires 38 Watts to run and the Radeon HD 4670 1GB requires 59 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 730 and a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the HD 4670. The HD 4670 requires 21 Watts more than the GT 730 to run. The difference is not significant enough for the HD 4670 to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GT 730.

GPU Mini Review

Mini ReviewOverview
GeForce GT 730 v2 Gigabyte Rev 2.0 2GB Edition is a special edition of NVIDIA's middle-class GeForce GT 730 v2, created by Gigabyte.

Overclock: Central Unit
The Central Unit remains clocked at the same speed.

Overclock: Memory Clock
The Operating Memory Clock remains the same while the Frame Buffer was doubled to 2GB: a gimmick which doesn't yield any performance boost and can be considered market to lure consumers into paying more for the same product.

Cooling Solution
The Cooling System has been replaced by Gigabyte's custom-designed 80 mm cooler, with air flow optimized cover and aluminum base. The cooler can dissipate heat effectively from the GPU while keeping the fan at lower speed and noise.

Without any overclocking out of the box, GeForce GT 730 v2 Gigabyte Rev 2.0 2GB Edition is as fast as the reference GeForce GT 730 v2.
Radeon HD 4670 1GB is a Fast-Middle-Class Graphics Card based on the R700 Architecture.

R700 was AMD's Second Unified Shader Architecture.

It equips a GPU Codenamed RV730 XT which has 4 Compute Units activated and thus offers 320 Shader Processing Units, 32 TMUs and 8 ROPs. The Central Unit is clocked at 750MHz.

The GPU accesses a 1GB frame buffer of GDDR3, through a 128-bit memory interface. The size of the frame buffer is adequate. The Memory Clock Operates at 800MHz.

DirectX 10.1 Support (10.0 Hardware Default) and support for Crossfire.

Power Consumption
With a rated board TDP of 59W, it requires at least a 400W PSU and it relies entirely on the PCI slot for power meaning no extra connectors are required.

Gaming benchmarks put its performance somewhat below a GeForce GT 240.
