Gt 620 ok for gaming?

[seetruskcaz]

I am buying an ultra low budget pc and want to know if a gt 620 gpu will work well to run games at medium to low settings. I want to play games from around 2011.

You can probably play at low settings. It definitely is not a gaming card, but that is what low settings are for.

I think it would depend on the games, but to give you a reference point here's a link. I think your good if you play RTS, flash, and games with low textures and models. Any newer game you probably will struggle.

How low is low budget? You can go with an APU that might do better than a GT620. I would also recommend the 6570 if you can find it.

If you have to ask its probably bad, certainly true here. Like others said its not for gaming, 6670 minimum, 7750 for 1080p.

As a matter of fact it's pretty good actually. You should only listen to the opinions of the people who actually has this GPU otherwise it's easy to just bash it because it's low-end.

The specs of my laptop: Intel i3-3110m 2,4Ghz, Nvidia gt620m 1gb VRAM, 6gb RAM.

I usually use 2xAA and 8xAF forced through the NVIDIA Panel, 1366x768 resolution is a must for me, and I played several recent games with the following fps:

Skyrim (with 200+mods) fully playable on High-Ultra custom settings, I get around 38-45fps in exteriors and 60+fps in interiors. I've seen a benchmark somewhere with my card that said 25-30 fps on low settings, well sucks for them.

Bioshock Infinite: I wasn't really monitoring fps but I easily played through the game with no stutter/choppyness on low detail (except light shafts and textures set to high) I'd guess I got around 38-40 fps throughout the game. (I'd say any Unreal engine game will play nicely with this card, like Alice in wonderland)

Dishonored+DLC's: I got 45-50 fps on high detail, played through the entire game with not a single stutter and it was highly responsive in fast paced situations.

The GT620 is a rebranded GT530. Apparently its close in performance to a GT430 Nvidia, which I have (I actually have the rare PCI model). It performs decently at 1280x1024 in most low-end games.

Without knowing what resolution or games OP is trying to play, it is hard to gauge how the performance is going to turn out. 1080p is usually assumed, which is why most of the people above said it would not be that great of a card. At lower resolutions though it would be fine for most games.

The thing is, the 6570 is about the same price, and is much faster for gaming than the GT620.

According to benchmarks, even at 1280x1024, his story does not add up.

The 6570 is also pretty poor.

I mentioned the 6570 since its about the same price, but significantly better.

It should be a neat little card, but don't expect to play newer games at high settings with it. If you're willing to spend a bit more in the GPU(which is the most important component in a gaming PC), wait for the new R7 250 from AMD, and see how well it stacks up against the competition. It just might be a really good value for the money.

Isn't the GT 620 and the GT 620M different ?

You might as well use the integrated Intel HD 4000 . The GT 620 is just a bit better than the Hd 4000.

Hi, I may seem little late on this subject, but I own an MSI Nvidia GeForce GT620 2GB GDDR3, I run a single core CPU AMD Athlon 64 3800+, Anyways the graphics card is a very good card. Now, DirectX 11 games? Maybe, but usually all your older games using DX9 even DX10 run very smooth. I play hunting games and i'm around 90+fps thats running a single core CPU, not bad huh? So yes. the GT620 is a very good card. As others mention, most new games that require a Core 2 Duo or better. If you don't have that then you will struggle to play it. Rule of thumb for me is determined on which version of DX game you're playing, new games like Crysis, or Halo even all newest 2012- and so forth on games using DX11. I hope this is an idea, by now you may have gotten rid of the card or not really worried much about it. Basically it comes down to what you're using that GT620 for.
