performance wise they are both on par .. if you want a real upgrade don't get anything lower than HD5570.

Save that money and party in McD instead or save up and at least get an HD6450. Anything below it is crap.

GT 610 costs 2.5K , if you save more 2k you can get HD 5670 1 GB GDDR5

HD 5450 is poor as well.

Please save and buy HD 5670. It is going to be worth it. Believe me.

Get the gt 610, if you can't get the hd 5670.

but if Op has a 9500GT already there's no point in upgrading to GT610 IMO.

Can also consider HD 6570 @ 3.6k....I have it and same resolution as yours...it can run most of the games at playable frame rates..
I have tested with..AC revelations, Mafia 2,fifa 12,dead space 3,splinter cell conviction,skyrim,most wanted 2012,cod mw3,hitman blood money....
But gta 4 and black ops 1 didn't run well as above games ...may be because I have weaker CPU (c2d e7500)
I think its a good vfm card...:)

BO1 has issue with AMD gfx cards .. to fix this just update the game to the latest version and enable "Shader Warming" option - I still remember this as I found it by myself ;-)

I'm pretty sure he's using the *ahem* version, so applying patch wouldn't be quite successfull.

Yes...you are right ...if I had that much money I would have bought a better gfx card rather than buying the game...

Anyway I don't have the game now...so no worries ...:)

i think gt 610 is better than 9500gt,not a great upgrade in performance but its a dx11 card and you can play crysis 3,

lol, the only plus point of GT610 is it's a DX11 gpu and if Op's 9500Gt is a DDr2 only then GT610 is better buy but still upgrading only for one game and spending ~2.5k does not reprsent great VF .. so Op better save up and wiat for get a better gpu.

But the gt 610 has only 48 cores(shaders units) and my current gt 9500 gt has 32, so would gt 610 give me a little more frames per seconds and add dx11 support?:-?

Forget it bro the minimum I would go is hd 5670 1gb gddr5, anything below it is only good for testing and deleting games from torrents ;). You wont even see shadows in game at settings like this and there wont be a diff between max payne2 and mp3 lol
Btw which cpu do you have.

^^ lol .. you are comparing MP2 with MP3 .. MP2 used to run at maxed out settings on 7600GS but gfx cards like HD5570 are more powerful than this and I'm sure MP3 will definetly look better than MP2 even with lowered gfx details.

@ sandyss - 9500GT's has double ROPs, TMU and SM units compared to GT520 but GT520 aka GT610 has a better architecture .. so a 9500GT GDDR3 should perform neck to neck with a GT610 DDR3 but if the 9500Gt has DDR2 memory then it will under perform for sure.

your cpu is enough for gpus upto 6.5-7k - the cpu won't bottleneck gpus in this price range.
