Form factor & compatibility

Information on GeForce GT 610 and Radeon 610 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Interface	PCIe 2.0 x16	PCIe 3.0 x8
Length	5.7" (14.5 cm)	no data
Height	2.7" (6.9 cm)	no data
Width	1-slot	no data
Supplementary power connectors	None	None

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.

Memory type	DDR3	GDDR5
Maximum RAM amount	1024 MB	4 GB
Memory bus width	64 Bit	64 Bit
Memory clock speed	1.8 GB/s	2250 MHz
