Hi,

I've recently "upgraded" from geforce gtx 650 (500mb) to geforce gt 730 (2gb) and this has resulted in a quite severe hit to my performance. On the exact same (low-ish) settings I've gone from 60 fps to around 20 fps with fps around 10 if I use a skill.

And I'm like, what?

Please advise. Thank you.

    GTX 650 to GT 730 is a downgrade (quite a significant one). The first number simply indicates which series the card is from. It's the following numbers which matter.
    Also, GTX 650 didn't have 500mb VRAM.

    Yes, the GT only series are multimedia cards (HD vid accelerators).
    The GTX cards are gaming cards.

    Return it for a GTX card.

    Here is a link to some discussion about those two cards and why the GT 730 is a downgrade.
