About NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 OEM
Who Should Consider It
The NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 OEM is a discrete graphics solution aimed at the most basic of computing needs. With a benchmark percentile ranking of 50, this card sits squarely in the middle of the historical GPU distribution, but that percentile reflects its era, not modern capability. The data shows a pixel rate of 2.200 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 4.400 GTexel/s, figures that anchor it firmly to 1080p and below resolutions for non-demanding tasks.
For users running legacy office applications, 2D desktop environments, or media playback on older displays, the GT 610 OEM is sufficient. The 1024 MB of DDR3 memory on a 64-bit bus yields 8.000 GB/s of bandwidth, which is adequate for framebuffer operations at 1080p with minimal visual effects. At 720p, the card can handle light gaming from the early 2010s, but benchmark results indicate that any modern 3D title will overwhelm its 48 shading units and 4 ROPs.
This is not a card for gamers, even at the lowest settings. The FP32 performance of 115.2 GFLOPS places it far below any contemporary entry-level part. Users considering this card should be running legacy software, point-of-sale systems, or basic home theater PCs where the 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.3a, and 1x VGA outputs provide flexible display connectivity. For anyone expecting playable frame rates in 3D applications, the data suggests looking elsewhere; the GT 610 OEM is strictly a 2D and video playback accelerator.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The GT 610 OEM has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The Fermi 2.0 architecture, built on the GF119S chip at TSMC's 40 nm process node, predates hardware-accelerated ray tracing entirely. This card does include 48 shading units and 8 texture mapping units, but these are fixed-function Fermi-era cores designed for DirectX 11 workloads.
API support is limited but functional for its time. The card supports DirectX 12 (11_0), which means it can run applications built for DirectX 11 but lacks feature levels 12_0 and higher. OpenGL 4.6 is supported, providing compatibility with a wide range of professional and creative applications that rely on this API. Notably, Vulkan support is absent from the FACT PACK, which excludes this card from modern cross-platform titles that use Vulkan as their primary rendering path.
The display outputs are minimal but practical: one DVI port, one HDMI 1.3a port, and one VGA port. HDMI 1.3a limits the card to 1080p output at standard refresh rates without high dynamic range support. There are no tensor cores for AI acceleration or DLSS, and no RT cores for hardware ray tracing. In terms of feature set, the GT 610 OEM is a pure rasterization card from an era before hybrid rendering became standard.
Benchmark Performance
The FACT PACK lists no benchmark scores and no nearest rivals for the GT 610 OEM. The avgBenchmarkScore is 0, and the nearestRivals array is empty. The percentileVsAllGpus value of 50 indicates that this card outperforms half of all GPUs ever tracked by the database, but this metric is heavily skewed by the inclusion of ancient integrated graphics and early 3D accelerators.
Without direct rival scores, the raw specifications must carry the analysis. The FP32 throughput of 115.2 GFLOPS is the headline number. For context, a modern entry-level discrete GPU delivers tens of thousands of GFLOPS. The texture rate of 4.400 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 2.200 GPixel/s mean that even a 1080p desktop with transparency effects can tax the card. The memory bandwidth of 8.000 GB/s over a 64-bit bus is roughly one-tenth of what a mid-range card from the same generation offered.
The 292 million transistors on a 79 mm² die represent a transistor density of 3.7M per mm², which was modest even for 40 nm fabrication. The data indicates that the GT 610 OEM was designed as a low-cost OEM part, not a retail gaming product. Its performance class is best described as "display adapter with 3D acceleration," not a gaming GPU. Users should expect sub-30 FPS performance in any DirectX 11 game released after 2012, even at 720p with all settings at minimum.
The memory clock of 500 MHz (1000 Mbps effective) further cements the card's low-end positioning. With only 1024 MB of DDR3, texture-heavy scenes will spill into system memory via PCIe 2.0 x16, causing stuttering. The single-slot design and 145 mm length (5.7 inches) indicate a compact card intended for small form factor OEM systems.

Power and Cooling
The GT 610 OEM has a TDP of 29 W, making it one of the most power-efficient discrete GPUs ever produced. This low power draw means no external power connectors are required; the card draws all power from the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot. The suggested PSU rating is 200 W, which is modest by any standard and compatible with virtually all desktop power supplies from the last two decades.
The single-slot cooling solution is adequate for the 29 W TDP. The 145 mm length (5.7 inches) allows the card to fit in compact OEM chassis and small form factor systems. With no power connectors and minimal heat output, the GT 610 OEM requires no special cooling considerations beyond basic case airflow.
The Fermi 2.0 architecture at 40 nm is not known for efficiency, but the GF119S chip's low transistor count and modest clock speeds keep heat generation minimal. The pixel rate of 2.200 GPixel/s and texture rate of 4.400 GTexel/s are low enough that the card rarely reaches sustained high loads. For users upgrading from integrated graphics, the 29 W TDP represents a negligible increase in system power draw.
The absence of a boost clock or game clock in the specifications indicates that the card runs at a fixed frequency, likely well below the thermal limits of the cooler. This predictable power envelope makes the GT 610 OEM a safe choice for legacy systems with aging power supplies. The production status is listed as end-of-life, so availability is limited to used or refurbished markets. Users should verify that their system has a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and a 200 W or greater power supply before installation.
