Property me this card gained since my old Geforce 9800GT just was getting on in years. What can I say, uncomplicated installation, takes only 1 PCI slot one (as passive fan). For performance: So now I'm not so the techie so expect no exact benchmark results, but in Borderlands 2, I played with the old card at 1680x1050 on minimum details and with no frills, with the 610 I can do 1680x1050 Filter with maximum details and full extras and Asitropen x4.
Conclusion: The money was worth it, who wants to upgrade from an old map and not the high-end gamers. That's very good advice with this card.
