Gt 610 1GB

[Brennan808]

I am looking at buying a GT 610 1gb for an old computer but I want to know is it will be better than the integrated graphics on this 2007 computer. If someone has a GT 610 1GB and is willing to run a benchmark that will run on old hardware that would help a lot.

 

Thanks

I have a 610 and a 710.  Honestly, either would be good for just pushing monitors and day to day tasks.  (Get whichever is cheaper).  But I wouldn't buy it for gaming or anything like that, that's not what these are intended for.

Theres alot of specs and benchmaks for stuff on the internet:

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/7736/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-610

This website I use alot for comparing different parts.

 

Also if we could have some iGPU specs that would help.

The igpu is built into the mobo and I don't know what kind it is.

Look up the processor specs, for the iGPU model.

As a display adapter it should be enough even though do keep in mind it is a terrible card and if you play doing any thing beyond 1080p playback it probably isn't worth it.

 

a 2007 processor? like what? a Core2Duo? you might pair it with a GTX 750 if you need to squeeze any actual performance from it.

I will be updating the processor but this will be a media center pc.

I get it that it is an old CPU with its iGPU running off the chipset, but is it too hard to just list what CPU it is? the most annoying thing in here is have to guess stuff...

The only thing it might be doing would be playing cs go with a friend just messing around.

Don't expect mind blowing performance. 

[Brennan808]

I was never expecting mind blowing performance for $20.00.

Theres a comparison.

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GeForce-GT-610-vs-ATI-Radeon-HD-4200/m7736vsm8091

 

I would personally be quite wary about those parts for even a media PC. The processor is definitely not up to snuff, and the GT610 barely makes the cut.

 

Also for that little, see if you can get something like a 750 or 750ti. The extra $$ is probably worth it.

Frankly if you plan on upgrading the processor either ways why don't you just get this:

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel - Pentium G4560 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor  ($78.87 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: MSI - H110M PRO-D Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Crucial - 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory  ($33.98 @ Directron)
Total: $162.84
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

It is enough for HTPC purposes while being all brand new stuff certain to work good and properly.

I will be upgrading to a x4 635 soon

That ends up being much more than a processor and gpu upgrade

160 dollars is too much for a HTPC for you? eh... are you a children?

I want to use what I already have. What kind of question is that?

That will work better, but still be careful. I have had pretty bad experiences trying to setup old PC hardware as media machines. 

 

Whenever I tried to use them, there was always stuttering, long buffer times etc. I would spend ages trying to sort it, before going and getting a decent machine in utter frustration.

 

I've had a gutsful of that, and just hooked our TV and sound system up to my main gaming rig, and thats a much better experience in every way fathomable.

you will be using what you already have such as HDD, PSU, Case, Peripherals and so on while making a purchase that makes sense, you can repurpose the system with few minor upgrades or at least have actual resale value at all.

 

Old hardware might be frustrating.

 

Buying a GT 610 is an awful money investment that I can only advise if you're a children without income thus why the question, that CPU with this GPU it might as well lag even full HD movies if you try using Google Chrome and such heheh...

 

Well do as you seem fit

That would fit with my experience, of trying to stream HD movies on a 2nd gen i3 laptop with decent wifi and 8gb RAM.

 

Spend your money on decent hardware!!!

There is a very short list of CPU's that work with the original motherboard for my dell system, the X4 635 was the best thing on that list that would not require CPU bracket modding. If I could get an FX 6300 or something like that I would.

Do you have another more powerful computer you could use, as at this point, honestly, you would be better to buy some cables to connect that system up to your TV.

 

I can tell you from my own experience, that you are not going to get a decent machine for watching/streaming content without spending some money on a new motherboard, processor, possibly ram and gpu. 

 

But do as you wish. Its your $$ not mine.
