ASUS GeForce GT 740 2GB DDR3 (GT740-2GD3) vs NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 DDR3

Theoretical performance comparison

Each GPU has several theoretical parameters that affect real-world game, 3D graphics and compute performance. They are pixel fillrate, texture fillrate, memory bandwidth, single-precision performance and double-precision performance. Why they are important and which graphics card has better characteristics you will find below.

Pixel fill rate (gigapixels/s)

15.9

Higher is better

Pixel fillrate parameter shows how many pixels a card can draw on screen and off screen. The higher this number, the higher display resolution and frame rate the graphics unit can support. The maximum theoretical pixel fillrate is proportional to the number of ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines) and graphics clock speed. Since both characteristics are identical between cards, their pixel fillrate is also equal.

Texture fill rate (gigatexels/s)

31.8

Higher is better

There are two factors that influence the maximum theoretical texture fillrate, the number of TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) and graphics frequency. Because both models have the same number of TMUs and the same graphics frequency, their texture fillrate is identical.

Single Precision performance (GFLOPS)

900

720

540

360

180

763

Higher is better

Single Precision performance illustrates how many single-precision floating point operations the graphics card can execute per second. The performance is measured in billions of Floating Point Operations Per Second, or GFLOPS. Since FP calculations are performed by shaders, stream processors or CUDA cores, the performance is directly proportional to their number. It also depends on the processor clock speed. These two GPUs have the same single-precision performance.

Memory bandwidth (GB/s)

28.5

Higher is better

Memory bandwidth of both cards is identical.
