General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones [so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips]. OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

FP32 Performance in GFLOPS Nvidia GeForce GT 730

The difference is 180%.

Note: Commissions may be earned from the links above. These scores are only an average of the performances got with these graphics cards, you may get different results.

Single-precision floating-point format, also called FP32, is a computer number format that typically occupies 32 bits in PC memory. This represents a wide dynamic range of numeric values that employs a floating point. FP32 power helps assess the video card's capabilities for generating rendering workloads. Video games use INT32 and FP32 cores to manage calculations with integers and numbers with decimals in order to produce maps, bone matrices on which the vertex shaders will calculate the vertices. Values in single precision format are mainly used in video games and 3D software.
