Can this card run modern games?

No. It is a display card for desktop work and video playback. It cannot handle current 3D games at playable frame rates.

Does it work with a 4K monitor?

Not at 4K. The DVI and VGA outputs top out well below 4K resolution, so use it with a 1080p or lower display.

Do I need a extra power cable?

No. It draws power from the PCIe x16 slot alone, so no separate power connector is required.

The package includes the graphics card only. Cables and drivers are not included.

Will it fit my prebuilt PC?

It needs a free PCIe x16 slot and a case with room for a low-profile card about 16.5cm long. Check your power supply and slot before buying.

Is it better than my CPU's integrated graphics?

Usually not for games. Modern integrated graphics are faster. It is useful mainly for its DVI and VGA ports on older systems.

Our take on the GT610 2GB PCIe x16 Graphics Card

The GT 610 2GB is an entry-level graphics card built on a 40nm GPU with 2GB of DDR3 memory on a 64-bit bus. It runs at an 810MHz core clock and 1800MHz memory clock, with DVI and VGA outputs for older monitors and projectors. It is a display-output card, not a gaming card: it adds HDMI-free legacy ports and a second screen to a basic desktop, and it is far slower than any current integrated graphics for games. Buy it to light up an extra monitor or replace a dead card in an office PC, not to play modern titles.
