In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition are noticeably better than the AMD FireGL V7100.

The GT 730 was released over three years more recently than the FireGL V7100, 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 FireGL V7100 when running the latest games.

The GT 730 has 1792 MB more video memory than the FireGL V7100, 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 memory bandwidth of the GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition and the FireGL V7100 are the same, which means the GT 730 and the FireGL V7100 have equal limitations when it comes to graphical data transfer.

The GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition has 96 Shader Processing Units and the FireGL V7100 has 6. However, the actual shader performance of the GT 730 is 134 and the actual shader performance of the FireGL V7100 is 2. The GT 730 having 132 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 FireGL V7100.

The GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition requires 49 Watts to run but there is no entry for the FireGL V7100. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 730 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the FireGL V7100. The two GPUs have been recommended a PSU with the same amount of wattage. As such, there is no need to worry about which will more significantly affect your yearly electricity bills.
