The GeForce RTX GT610 has been listed by a seller on Aliexpress. Surely, with that name, it will have managed to awaken your curiosity, but the truth is that It is nothing more than a GeForce GT 610 that has been renamedand therefore it is a graphics card that you should not touch “even with a stick.”
The vendor that launched the GeForce RTX GT610 has introduced the “RTX” badge because this is an important differentiator, as it is only used to indicate that the graphics card in question has dedicated hardware for accelerate ray tracing and AIallowing access to all or part of the NVIDIA DLSS ecosystem.
The GeForce RTX GT610 not only does not have tensor cores or ray tracing cores, but it is also a graphics card that uses an obsolete architecture, since it is based on Fermi 2.0. This architecture is what was used to give life to some GeForce GTX 400, and also to the GeForce GTX 500 series and the low-end GeForce GT 600 series.
In addition to using an outdated architecture, the specifications of this graphics card they are very lazy. It is configured with 48 shaders, has 8 texturing units, 4 raster units, has a 64-bit bus and has 1 GB of DDR3 memory, which gives a total bandwidth of 14.37 GB/s.
It’s not the first time that a technology seller on Aliexpress does this kind of thing. I remember when low-end graphics cards were sold as if they were mid-range models that were highly sought after at the time, a practice that has continued to be done to a greater or lesser extent, although it had a peak moment with the GeForce GTX 1060, which in reality ended up being GeForce GT 740 or, at best, GeForce GTX 750.
Buying technology on Aliexpress can be a good idea, but as long as we are careful and make sure that what we are going to buy really corresponds to what it says it is. In this sense, I take advantage of this article to alert you to another important thing that I have seen recently, listings for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D with prices ranging from 60 to 100 euros.
As you may have imagined, with such a low price, the units that are offered of that processor They are false. It is not really a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, but rather other processors that are disguised to appear and to take advantage of the pull and interest that this CPU continues to have. When in doubt, think that if it seems too good to be true it is because it is probably a hoax.
