Hi everybody, so I am planning in getting a new GPU: Nvidia GT 730, suits my needs of lightis' gaming, but there are multiple tipes of it, and i dont know witch to choose.They are the following:
GT 730 1GB DDR3, 128-bit, 96 CUDA Cores, 700 MHz
OR
GT 730 1GB DDR3, 64-bit, 384 CUDA Cores, 906 MHz

Whats the difference between 128 and 64 bit, more CUDA Core= better?

Also if you have another GPU in the same price braket, on the AMD side i would be happy to hear it.

Thank you, Adrian

Hello... according this... there are two different GPU's used in the GT 730, 3 memory types and 2 Bit widths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_700_series
I feel the Zotec 730 64 bit will be the better Buy because of the GK208 over the GF108 GPU Design, and Power use... The GDDR5 model will have best of Both worlds of memory and GPU performance... maybe search a little further for that SPEC in your Price range.

My PC is so old that si has a Intel Celeron Dual-Core E3200, i currently rock a AMD radeon hd 4300.
As for the GTX750, i really would buy it but i am looking for something smaller that will hold me another like 6 months, because i plan on upgrading to an FX 6300 and an AMD R9 270, with a new mobo, and that good stuff :D

The 750 ti is very small (same size as the 730), cheap, power efficient, and will more than hold you over for 6 moths. You can even keep it in your next build if you want as a dedicated PhysX card or just to run another monitor.

Yes i know i wont be able to play like : BF4, Crysis and all those nice AAA games but i think that for L4D2, TF2, CS:GO,LOL,Skyrim, etc...

As for the 750 ti,(when i wrote smaller, i tought of cheaper, sorry for that mistake) i know it costs just a little bit more($100 where i live), but that little bit is what i am missing.. cant really afford it right now.

If you can't afford that difference immediately, I'd recommend a little more patients. The 750 ti (not the regulat 750 as much) is a descent card that will get games running (even if you have to lower some settings), whereas the 730 will likely just crash. Save up another $75 because spending $70 on the 730 will feel like a waste of money once you get it, and spending $140 on the 750 ti will feel like you breathed some real life into your computer. Worth the wait in my opinion.

Hello... Then to answer your original post... More Cuda cores will be the better buy... That said... memory Bandwidth ( 128 bit ) is better... But becareful in reading the specs on theses cards... there are DDR2 memory being used in Some of these MODELS right now ( Old Slow Technology )... send a link to the web pages of the ones you are looking at... and i can help you read the FINE print B )

I think they just copied and paisted some shit there, as every other store i went does, this seems to be the more trustabe one since i boutht some things from there before.
