How high did you got it? I saw some impressive oc on some low end cards, they are so cut down, there is sometimes surprisingly big overhead. Could get around 50% on my age old 7300 GT back in the day.

oh no :(

[@yahiag1377]

yep, thats my story too :')

[@gorjy9610]

I wouldn't blame guy from store too much, it's not like they don't want to sell better more expensive cards. But if customer don't know anything about PC's they will always try to get cheapest thing comparing stuff like GPUs with something they understand, like cars. Every car can drive you around a town so probably every card can run games and cheap one just doesn't have champaign cooler under backseat logic.

[@okywh]

Back in 2010 when I wanted a gaming PC , gt210 DDR2 1gb was the first gpu i got, paired with core 2 duo e7500 and 1gb ram, it's not because my dad and i want it but because we don't know what gaming PC specs should be, and i learn that just because it has 1gb vram doesn't mean it's a GPU for gaming, 1gb vram on that thing is totally useless most of the time only around 200mb vram is used

[@gorjy9610]

GT 610 was my first ever graphics card my mom bought for me on a whim. We were out for doing some xerox and ended up going to a local electronics shop I don’t remember why. I noticed the MSI branding with GT 610 written on a box for showcasing. Asked mom for it with very little knowledge about graphics cards. It was like 55$ so she surprisingly got it for me. Such nostalgia. Mine came with a fan tho. I still have it and it’s original box. Can’t get rid of it.
