Is it worth replacing Nvidia GT 610 with Sapphire R7 240?

[darkx132]

I recently saw that an R7 240 2GB was selling for $69 on Amazon.com. Is it worth replacing my Nvidia GT 610 which I brought for $58? I know that the R7 240 is way better than this. But here's my specs anyway :
Intel C2D E7500 2.93Ghz
2GB DDR2
Nvidia GT 610
Intel DG41RQ

It's not gonna get you very far. Your other components are going to drag that thing down to a halt.

JobCreater is very wrong.

First, yes the Sapphire 240 is miles ahead of the Nvidia 610. It will give a huge performance improvement relative to the Nvidia 610, which is a heavily cut down super low end card that is beat by pretty much every modern integrated graphics chip on the market. The Sapphire 240 isn't very good in terms of gaming in the long run, but its better than most if not all integrated graphics at least and will give a resonable experience playing games on low/medium settings, and games of two years ago or more high shouldn't be hard.

As for the other components dragging it down, this is completely wrong. The CPU you have can handle up to at least an R7 260x or an Nvidia GTX 650Ti before it becomes a substantial bottleneck of any kind.
