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.
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.
