Why people call Nvidia Geforce GT 610 are terrible graphic card

[arpitsri]

So few months ago I installed Nvidia GT 610 on my PC because that was the only card which was in my budget
So I tried the following games at 1024x768 resolution(little less because I've CRT Monitor)-
Batman Arkham Origins-High Settings
Black Ops 2- high settings except shadows to low
Assassin's Creed III- Full settings
Assassin's Creed IV- Medium Low Settings( disappointed)
Arkham City- High settings

Note- I mean that it is a mid end card, most people on internet says that it is low end card and it could not run any game before 2010.

When I search on internet about the card review most people say "that its a terrible card" and some sites like gamedebate and systemrequirements lab show most of the games above stated as unplayable(showing false result).
So why there is so much of misunderstanding about this card, is it because of the last two digits 6-10 or sites like gamedebate carries wrong information.

Perhaps youtube is the best site where at least there are videos showing the gameplay of games on GT 610.

Till when this thread will remain opened, I now own Nvidia GTX 970 4GB. Already forgot about GT 610.

Good to know.
I have a 210 that I bought in 2011, and a 650 I use now bought in 2014. Noticed the difference instantly from the crap GMA 950 to the 210(I could run NFS Prostreet! Yay!) and the 650(from 800x600 in Hot Pursuit to maxed-out 1440x900 in many games, including Hot Pursuit and Crysis). I doubt Crysis would have even run on the 210.
Unfortunately now the 2GB RAM and c2d E4600 CPU are holding me back, another month and I'd be getting a i5 4690K and a 970 and then we'll see 😉

Yes, You are right I plays Grand Theft Auto V in 1270 x 720 res in 4 gb ram ,Pentium dual-core processor 3 ghz on windows 10 on same card.
It is giving 40-45 fps which is not bad at all.

I now have my 4690K and 970, and I get 60FPS in any game at full res on my monitor(1080p). I know 4K is the new talk of the town, but 1080p looks pretty good for now.

The 610 is a bottom of the barrel, lowest of the low entry video card you can get. You cant play games at a resolution that was relevant 10 years ago and say its a good middle of the pack card. It isnt. But it really depends on the person using it. If its good enough for you, thats all that matters. But it really isnt a good gaming card in any way, shape or form.

It's not really all that bad of a card i used it until last year and it worked fine at 1920X1080, I play world of warcraft and got 90fps in the game.
and even battlefield 4 at the same res and got 65 fps, which is more then enough and i had all the settings higher then low,.
So it's really not all that bad, they ware worst G-Force cards you could use then that..

How ever i got a nice bad ass card which makes all the difference in the world, i got all settings up as high as they go and i'm getting huge frame rates.. i have the Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 G1, 4GB ,, it has 3 cooling fans on it, yeah you got to have a bad ass power supply as well i got a 750 watt power supply to feed that card.. ..

I own a Sapphire AMD R7 250 1GB graphics card. Even that is not relevant to play the latest games even at reasonable FPS. My friend owns a Nvidia GT 610 and I have to say, it is one of the shittest cards I have ever played on. It is problematic and it is the least overclockable card I have ever seen. If you have a low resolution monitor and want to play age-old games, then go on playing with this card. Just try to save some money and get a good graphics card that can at least handle newer games. As of now, you can't expect to play newer games even at playable FPS.
