I've been wanting to upgrade my graphics card to basically revamp my whole pc. I currently have a 550 Ti and wanted a GPU with 2GB GDDR5 ram. I've found the GT 730 with 2gb GDDR5 ram but saw that it's only 64 bit compared to the 550 ti's 192 bit. Do you think that it'll make a difference gaming-wise? I just need something cheap and can play moderate games at medium to high settings with the FX 6300 I'm planning to get.

The 550 ti is superior to the 730 in every other way. The 1 extra gb of ram means nothing when it has a lower memory speed, much lower bandwidth, and less cache. Don't waste your money on a 730. I'd recommend getting an AMD R9 280 if you want a relatively cheap card that can perform well.

Thanks for the quick response. Is there any other card with at least 2GB at the 100-150 price range? I'm going on a strict budget so anything in that range should be fine. Also, I've been looking at an older 6950 that seems to be ok with BF4 at ultra settings. Anyways what do you think on those to things?
