How good is a Geforce 210 graphics card?

the gt210 is a rebadged 9400gt which is a rebagded 8500gt

for playing bf2/bf2142 youd be fine but modern games is a no no

you can play stuff like oblivion and R6V on medium

Not very good I imagine. I need to upgrade my 310 which is good for most but doesn't work well with some games on highest settings(Bad Company 2 and Metro 2033).Eikichi-Onizuka

b/c the 310 is a rebagded 210 which is a ... (see list above)

may i recommend an amd hd 5570

Edit: I too agree with the Radeon 5570. Its dirt cheap and performs well.

It overclocks pretty good if your into that.

The 210 will get you great FPS in Solitaire but will lag a bit in Pinball and Minesweeper.Janus67

yeah but if he can settle for 720p he might be able to play minesweeper with high settings as long as he aims at 30 fps:P

Cheer up pal!Even people with GTS450/HD5770 can't max out Metro 2033. :P

I have had my geforce 210 for a little over a month now, and to be honest it plays crysis 2, bulletstorm and g.r.a.w., c.o.d.:b.o.., but I am also not running HD resolutions. I have an 4:3 monitor @1024x768. but to be honest even with an amd sempon 140 I can play all the latest games with pretty playable framerates, AA is a no no with this card.

Yeah! I too played Crysis with a whizing old 6600(non-gt) even when the minimum specs of that was 6600GT! But forget highest settings,medium settings were no-go.But had to make do with what I got at that time.

Actually I am a firm beleiver of the fact that one can game reasonably with hardware not even listed in the min req. specs.Some unecessary hype is created by raising the min. specs of games much to the plight of gamers who are in no position to update at that very time. Not nice!

im aware of such things.. my fav is all the hate the hd 2000 series gets.. my old 2400pro has been tossed, dropped, waterlogged, mishandled, used and abused to the tune of a helpless trollop. and it keeps on ticking.. still probably can handle oblivion and r6v to boot :P

its a simple yet grand scheme.. the bottom end card is normally a write off and then they build around it and prebuilts get something they can flash off to the sheep who dont know any better

in cases such as the hd 6770, gts 250, and gtx 560 (no ti) its an excuse to stretch out the life of a hot ticket card for a little while longer and get a few more dollars out of saps.. before moving on

[QUOTE="danjammer69"] This rebadging thing that AMD/Nvidia do is crap. How the hell do they get away with this? Oh, because we gamers are stupid sheep that only look for the higher number, right? I just think it is BS. I can understand having to sell surplus cards, but the cards are rarely marked down in price very much. I don't know about you guys, but I learned my lesson a long time ago when I bought an FX5200 ;) After that i realized just how important it is to research the upgrades/parts you purchase very heavily before you seal the deal. I guess having a job in marketing also requires one to sell their souls.How do they sleep at night?! Probably very comfortably on their giant bags of money!danjammer69

gtx 560 TI (ti is very important) gf114 completely new card

gtx 560 (notice the no ti bit) is a restickered gf104 gtx 460 1gb expect ti to be the same price as the launch 1gb 460 which isnt too far up from where it is now and the 460 768mb, SE and 1gb will all get phased out gradually
