I think u shud go for 610 as it is newer as compared to 5450. As for hardcore gaming neither cards are enuff. N make sure u hv a gud cpu b4 buying either of the cards. That matters a lot at low res gaming. Btw if u cn get 1 gb crd at cheaper rate than 2gb get it. 2gb is unnecessary.

GT-610 is nothing but a rebadged GT-520.
When you have a budget around 3k, getting either of these doesn't make any sense. Better spend 300bucks more and get the HD 5570 1GB DDR3 atleast. Its cheapest gaming card one should consider these days.
And 2GB of VRAM on these cards dont make any sense. These cards can hardly use even 512MB properly.

Get this one: PowerColor AMD/ATI Radeon HD5570 1 GB DDR3 Graphics Card - PowerColor: Flipkart.com

Spend more and get something like HD 5570 or GT 240 or HD 5670 or HD 6470.

Don't care about the video memory.
