NVIDIA GeForce 615: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 615 sales 15 May 2012. This is a Fermi architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 1 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.8 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 28.8 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 49 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 1.41% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
