In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Leadtek WinFast Hurricane 4GB Edition are massively better than the Nvidia GeForce GT 930 2GB.
The GT 930 has no core clock speed set, so any comparison between Texture and Pixel Fill Rates is not currently possible.
The GT 930 was released over a year more recently than the GTX 970, and so the GT 930 is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 970.
The GTX 970 has 2048 MB more video memory than the GT 930, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the GTX 970 also has superior memory performance overall.
The GTX 970 has 208.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GT 930, which means that the memory performance of the GTX 970 is massively better than the GT 930.
The GeForce GTX 970 Leadtek WinFast Hurricane 4GB Edition has 1664 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GT 930 2GB has 384. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 970 is 2732 and the actual shader performance of the GT 930 is 0. The GTX 970 having 2732 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 970 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GT 930.
The GeForce GTX 970 Leadtek WinFast Hurricane 4GB Edition requires 150 Watts to run and the GeForce GT 930 2GB requires 35 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 500 Watts for the GTX 970 and a PSU with at least 300 Watts for the GT 930. The GTX 970 requires 115 Watts more than the GT 930 to run. The difference is significant enough that the GTX 970 may have an adverse affect on your yearly electricity bills in comparison to the GT 930.

Mini Review | Overview GeForce GTX 970 Leadtek WinFast Hurricane 4GB Edition is a special edition of NVIDIA's high-end GeForce GTX 970 4GB. Overclock Out of The Box The Central Unit now runs at 1076MHz, instead of 1051MHz. Boost Clock is now of 1216MHz, instead of 1178MHz. The Operating Memory was left untouched. Cooling Solution The reference NVIDIA Single-Fan Cooling System has been replaced by Leadteks's Hurricane Dual Fan Cooling Solution. This means the card runs cooler under load. Performance Benchmarks indicate a 3% performance over the reference GeForce GTX 970 4GB. | Overview GeForce GT 930 2GB is an upcoming middle-class Graphics Card based on the first revision of the Maxwell architecture. Architecture The first variant of the Maxwell Architecture succeeds the Kepler Architecture. Despite being also manufactured with a 28nm technology, it has an extremely large L2 Cache which allows NVIDIA to produce Graphics Cards with relatively small memory data transfer rates, without causing too much impact on the overall performance. Furthermore, the Shaders have been redesigned and are both more powerful and energy efficient. GPU It equips a GPU codenamed ???? which has 3 SM activated and thus offers 384 Shader Processing Units, 16 TMUs and 8 ROPs, on a 64-bit memory interface of fast GDDR5. The central unit runs at XXXXMHz and goes up to XXXXMHz, in Turbo Mode, while the memory clock operates at 1250MHz. Features DirectX 12.0 Support (11.0 Hardware Default) and support for GameStream, G-SYNC, GPU Boost 2.0, GeForce Experience, PhysX and other technologies. Cooling Solution Coming Soon! Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 35W, it requires at least a 300W PSU and relies entirely on the PCI Slot for power. Release Price Coming Soon! Performance Coming Soon! System Suggestions Coming Soon! |
