Graphics card ASUS GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile

ASUS GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 Low Profile is a budget graphics card aimed at compact or office systems, multimedia, and light gaming. The low-profile design and passive cooling make it suitable for small cases and completely silent builds. The combination of 2 GB GDDR5 memory and 384 CUDA cores is more than enough for basic 3D tasks and older titles. It operates on a PCI Express 2.0 interface, making it compatible with many older motherboards and ready-made office machines.

What you get

With 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM and a 64-bit bus, the GT 730 meets the needs for browsing, high-resolution video playback, and office applications without burdening the CPU with integrated video. Passive cooling means zero noise – ideal if you are building an HTPC next to the TV or a quiet workstation. Support for up to 3 displays via HDMI, DVI, and VGA provides flexibility: you can easily connect an old VGA monitor to a new 4K display without adapters. The maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 allows for 4K desktop and video, so for movies and productivity, you are completely fine. The recommended power supply of 300W indicates that the card is economical and suitable for most OEM and older PSUs.

• Video chipset Nvidia GeForce GT 730 with 384 CUDA cores for basic 3D performance and hardware video acceleration.
• 2 GB GDDR5 memory on a 64-bit bus – better bandwidth than DDR3 variants of the GT 730 for smoother operation in light games and UI.
• Core clock speed of 902 MHz and memory at 5010 MHz, providing stable operation in everyday applications and multimedia.
• PCI Express 2.0 interface, ensuring compatibility with older motherboards and office machines without the need for platform upgrades.
• Low-profile design with 2 slots, suitable for compact cases and systems with limited space.
• Passive cooling – no fan and no noise, ideal for HTPC, office, and cold-running builds.
• Outputs 1x HDMI, 1x DVI, 1x VGA supporting up to 3 displays and a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 for flexible multi-monitor configuration.
• Recommended power supply of only 300W, allowing use in older or weaker systems without changing the PSU.

Who it is suitable for

This GT 730 is a reasonable choice for office machines, home computers for internet, movies, and working with multiple monitors, as well as for a quiet HTPC build. It also works for older or lighter games, but it is not aimed at modern AAA titles or high settings. It is not VR Ready, so if you are aiming for VR or heavy 3D rendering, you better look for a higher-class GPU.

The combination of low-profile form factor, passive cooling, and GDDR5 memory makes this ASUS GT 730 a good little solution when you want silence, 4K video, and multiple monitors without changing half the system.
