After Nvidia released the new entry-level GT 730 GPU, a lot of manufacturers unveiled their own version. The actual board is based on the 28nm GK107, which is the same featured on the GT 740 we talked about a few weeks ago, but with lower clocks and slower DDR3 memory. The reference board features 1GB of DDR3 memory and active cooling, while a few manufacturers went for different solutions.

Let's start with Manli, which took the GT 730 and created many different versions. As far as cooling is concerned, we have a passive version, and one with an active fan on the heatsink. When it comes to on board memory, they don't joke around: there are 3 different models, with 1GB, 2GB and 4GB of memory and 64-bit memory interface, clocked at 1800Mhz.


EVGA unveiled a few different models, with an active cooling solution, and 1 or 2GB of on-board memory, either DDR3 or GDDR5. Other than that, their models are quite standard, and can fit in the tightest PC cases thanks to the low profile design.


Palit went all the way, and presented 8 different models of the GT 730: you just choose what you need, either it's 1GB of GDDR5 memory, 1 or 2 or 4GB of DDR3 memory, Palit has it. They also offer different cooling solutions, single and dual-slot, or even passive if you don't like noise.


Gainward went for quality over quantity, and it's offering one model with a single slot cooler, with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, which should be enough to handle 3 different monitors, thanks to the great number of outputs on the back.


MSI enlarged its portfolio with a lot of GT 730, with different cooling options. Their offer start with boards with 1GB of memory, and it end with boards that features 4GB of memory, which should be more than enough to handle any kind of entry level application. Thanks to high quality capacitors, their graphics card are supposed to last a lifetime.


Zotac is in the game too, and it unveiled a variety of GT 730, with DDR3 and GDDR5 memory, dual slot or low profile cooling systems, even passive cards if you want your PC to be as silent as possible. The GT 730 by Zotac can handle up to 3 monitors to allow the maximum productivity possible.


Last, but not least, we have the KFA proposal, the GT 730 EX OC. The board features a single slot low profile cooling system, with 1GB of DDR3 memory and a 64-bit wide memory interface. Its clock speed is set at 954Mhz (while the reference clock is 908Mhz), while memories are still at 1.8Ghz.
