GeForce 9600 GT vs GeForce GT 610
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce 9600 GT |
| Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
| PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
Reasons to consider GeForce GT 610 |
| 66 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce 9600 GT . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Supports PhysX |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce 9600 GT
Based on theoretical specifications.
