Unfortunately this review is taking place prior to the release of Metro Redux, so we can’t use that – but Metro Last Light is a punishing title either way. With that said, it’s still a commendable performance considering the price of the card. It’s clear Tomb Raider isn’t taking advantage of the additional memory bandwidth the GT 740 offers, and the lower fill rate of the GT isn’t doing it favors. Nvidia typically perform worse than AMD for Tomb Raider, but these results are certainly the furthest the GT 740 falls behind the R7 250X. For some reason Nvidia’s GT 740 offers far worse performance, managing just 20.7 for min and only 26.1 FPS for the average. AMD’s R7 250X starts things 38.1 FPS, and a min frame rate of 30 FPS. Also gone is TressFX – it’s just too expensive for these cards to handle, and Anti-Aliasing is supplied via FXAA. With Tomb Raider we play with the Ultimate Preset, and then crank down the shadows to Normal, and remove High Precision. The GTX 740 doesn’t do too badly, managing 24.09 FPS average for the Ultra, DX11 DDOF setting, and 39.99 FPS for the high setting. The High preset however allows the card to breath a little more, reaching 46.47 FPS. R7 250X hits 25.32 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold – particularly if you were in the middle of a large fire fight.

The first test is full Ultra, DX11 and DDOF (Diffusion Depth Of Field) all enabled. Bioshock Infinite:įor this test we decided to use the built in benchmark at two different quality settings – and of course targeting 1080P.

I will say the GT 740 felt a little heavier than the Radeon, but let’s be honest here – that’ll only bother folks who’re wanting to build a light weight LAN / portable HTC system, and the difference isn’t too much at all.Ī size comparison of a GTX 740, a GTX 760 and AMD’s R7 250X. Both cards feature a non reference cooler, and just as importantly this cooler helps keep not just the GPU cool, but also the memory too. In a comparison shot against a reference design GT 760 (I just happened to have one sitting on the desk) you can see the rather large size difference between both the GT 740 and the R7 250X.

On the subject of how the cards look – fortunately both cards are fairly small.

This isn’t a lie, the cards do offer DX12 support, but then so do Intel’s HD 4400 series and AMD’s GCN architecture too. Both proudly display their specs, and it’s interesting how Nvidia are already marketing the GT 740 as supporting DirectX 12, albeit adding e note reading Feature level 11_0.

As for specs of the card itself, you’ll be looking at 384 CUDA cores, 32 TMU’s and finally 16 ROPS.Īs I’ve said, both cards are by Gigabyte and both GPU’s came in rather attractive boxes (if you’re into that sort of thing). Fortunately, just like the R7, the 740 only asks for a single standard PCI-E 6 Pin cable. Just like the R7 250X, the GT 740 will ask to be provided additional power too – a bit of a shame really.
