Is this a good graphics card for my needs?

[Kiusthugs]

I took a peek on a gift that someone is getting for me... I dont see that I will use this for right now but can you tell how good this graphics card is on the windows experience index, how well it plays low end games like league of legends, starcraft, etc. I dont really care about the looks of the game but I do care about my frames and how smooth it is playing. Anyone have an idea of how this card performs? What about when overclocked?

That's pretty low end and you can't expect much from a $25 video card. You will have to adjust the monitor resolution and in game settings to get a good gaming experience.

I know that... Any benchmarks or actual performance evidence you can possibly have or anybody else?

When that card was the new technology there were plenty of benchmarks with the games of the day , but this is now older technology so it would take a lot of digging to find any benchmarks and the Geforce 210 is not usually included in todays game benchmarks.
If nobody responds with actual experience then make a new thread with the Geforce 210 in the title so somebody looking though will know what the tread is about and hopefully respond with actual experience for you. Something like this.

These are some graphs and what not for comparison but all in all its not going to be the best gaming experience ( my gts 450 on the graph could barely handle Black Ops 2). tell you hat though if you wanna play older games like COD WAW or even MW2 and games of that caliber you should be able to play on okay settings at 30ish frames per second.
