In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD FireGL V7700 are marginally better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition.
The GT 730 was released over three years more recently than the FireGL V7700, 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 V7700 when running the latest games.
The GT 730 has 1536 MB more video memory than the FireGL V7700, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the FireGL V7700 has superior memory performance.
The FireGL V7700 has 43.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GT 730, which means that the memory performance of the FireGL V7700 is noticeably better than the GT 730.
The GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition has 96 Shader Processing Units and the FireGL V7700 has 320. However, the actual shader performance of the GT 730 is 134 and the actual shader performance of the FireGL V7700 is 161. The FireGL V7700 having 27 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the FireGL V7700 delivers a noticeably smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GT 730.
The GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition requires 49 Watts to run but there is no entry for the FireGL V7700. We would recommend a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 730 and a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the FireGL V7700. The FireGL V7700 has been recommended a PSU with 50 Watts more than the GT 730. The difference is significant enough that the FireGL V7700 may have a slight adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GT 730.

Mini Review | GeForce GT 730 v3 Gigabyte 2GB Edition is a special edition of the middle-class GeForce GT 730 v3. This Edition comes with a special cooling solution which keeps the GPU cooler under load and no overclock out of the box. Performance-wise, it's as fast as the reference GeForce GT 730 v3. | The ATI FireGL range of video cards, renamed to FirePro 3D in late 2008, is the series specifically for CAD (Computer Aided Design) and DCC (Digital Content Creation) software, usually found in workstations. The FireGL line is designed for multimedia content creation programs, such as 3DS Max, and mechanical engineering design software such as Solidworks, whereas Radeon counterparts are suited towards video games. FireGL drivers were built with maximum image quality and pixel precision, with CAD specific functionalities such as the recently introduced AutoDetection Technology to tune the parameters inside the driver to achieve maximum performance for predefined list of software. However, because the drivers are also based on the Catalyst drivers made for the Radeon line, it makes them suitable for gaming, at the expense of probable compatibility issues with the very latest games due to the age of the drivers, with FireGL cards in theory pushing more data than their Radeon gaming counterparts. |
