im confused should'nt all nvidia 730 graphics cards have the same number of cuda cores? some 730's show they have 384cuda cpores and other nvidia 730's show only 96 cuda cores why is this
 
There are two different version of the GT 730, one based on the old GF108 GPU from the old GT 440, the other based on the newer GK208. The older card has a shader hot clock, which means the 96 shaders (CUDA cores) are equivalent to twice that, 192 shaders. Obviously still a lot worse than the other version with its 384 shaders on a newer architecture.
