Review on ZOTAC GeForce GT 730 Zone Edition 4GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card - High Performance for Gaming and Multimedia by Mike Rice

NOT for gaming: Graphics Cards

If you are thinking about swapping out a 1GB gaming card for a 4GB card, this is NOT for you. In most games, not even 20 fps is possible, even with the lowest game settings. The 1 gigabyte card I had ran the same games at 30 fps on medium settings with a combination of overclocking and CPU tricks anyone can find. There's a reason these 4GB gamer cards are 6x more expensive than this, do your research first. Everywhere I've double checked this basically works as a 1GB card with the ability to shift memory to allow for video streaming, still works with graphics but can't handle games. Expect to spend at least 3x the value of this card even for the average gamer, 6x for over 30fps and 3D or 60fps average for most e.g. Steam games.

Pros
  • Handsfree
