GeForce 8800 GT Mac Edition vs GeForce GT 730
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce 8800 GT Mac Edition |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
| PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
Reasons to consider GeForce GT 730 |
| 76 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce 8800 GT Mac Edition . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Supports PhysX |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce 8800 GT Mac Edition
