This is the Nvidia GeForce 610 a graphics card that is almost 12 years old we’re going to see if a 12 years old graphics card is capable of running the latest version of Minecraft and if it can just how bad is it oh boy compared to a 470 TI this thing is absolutely Tiny and due to it being quite old it’s going to be quite slow I’m not even sure if it’s going to work this is the PC we’ll be using with a 13th gen i7 RTX 4070 TI and 32 GB of RAM it is extremely powerful easily getting over 10,000 FPS But let’s go ahead and get rid of our RTX 47 ETI and replace it with a 12-year-old graphics card I just wanted to say this I know this isn’t the oldest GPU it’s the oldest I could find that would work from this point there was no turning back unplug the PC what if my computer explodes here goes nothing unplugging our Gra graphics card here we go all right goodbye RX 47 ETI hello gt610 how does this go in oh there we go just look at that that is that is beautiful wow okay so we have installed The graphics card all that is left to do is see if the computer works power cable in and re 3 2 1 I I saw some dust blow off that then wow oh my God that noise what I slapped it and it stopped making noise yeah this thing is really Noisy so the computer the computer just turned on oh that took so long okay oh my God it is so much louder oh there it is Nvidia GeForce gt610 2 GB of GPU memory that’s actually not as bad as I FL it would but it is DDR free hold on Look at that driver version driver date 27th of October 2017 oh we can only do 1080p no the gt610 only has 48 cuticles 200 times less cuticles which basically means 200 times less performance I then wanted to try playing an 8K YouTube video I want to try something okay okay It’s it’s doing 1440p and apparently we’re also getting zero dropped frames which is crazy but what if we set that to 4K all right okay no shot that actually worked okay no we’re starting to get some GPU usage but it’s playing YouTube fine like what about 8K here we go oh I Can hear the computer no way it is playing 8K it is actually playing 8K right now we did just drop Six frames as well but that really isn’t bad like okay that’s crazy but like can it play Minecraft all right here we go can it run Minecraft I’m going to go ahead and Boot up the latest release of Minecraft all right here we go oh all right I was very nervous that it wouldn’t even boot at all I can’t believe it the game actually loaded um here goes nothing default Minecraft 1.20 free so the latest version let’s go load up a new World it shouldn’t load any slower cuz that’s all on CPU and oh I’m not going to move anywhere just yet let’s bring up the FPS counter oh boy oh o 23 FPS God it’s bad what does it look like when we start moving around Oh my God this is bad oh this is bad wow no that is that’s just what it looks like we’re running at a steady 24 frames per second but it is it’s just not getting any higher I guess we just play the game normally I guess chopping down This tree okay so when I look up we’re getting like almost 50 FPS but as soon as I look down it it just goes fulls a pot painfully but I’m crafting there’s a lot of like screen tearing I don’t know if you guys can see that oh no no no no No stay away oh oh my God I’m amazing boom as you can see the game is pretty laggy we did not get above 30 FPS the entire time and the higher I went the laggier it got whereas the 4070 TI got 1500 FPS at 1080 the gt610 got yeah side By side it it’s just not nice you can clearly tell which one’s the gt610 I just set the render distance down to two focus camera what are you doing oh my God we’re getting so close to 60 FPS oh it’s funny how bad it is we are not Getting 60 FPS very disappointing but we’re still running this in 1080P so what if if I go ahead let’s drop it down to something it can handle 720p what about 720p look at that this might actually be the answer oh oh yes let’s go we’re getting 140 oh my Gosh 150 FPS no way I’m going to reset the render distance back to where it was before no oh went back below 60 no I want to get it above 60 let’s go ahead and use Luna clein Luna Klein’s pretty similar to fabric it just absolutely triples your FPS it’s insane they’re not Sponsoring this video Luna Klein if you’re watching this also Luna Kleine is entirely free Okay so let’s see so we’re back to 1080p default settings and we’re getting maybe a few extra frames the never is surprisingly not any more intensive at all an improvement but Nothing on the scale of the RTX X 470 TI when you reach a ball neck like this there really isn’t much you can do but surprisingly in 480p okay so in 480p resolution getting above 200 FPS okay that’s impressive actually also very quick this guy wanted his dog in the Video I don’t know why but here it is so we have tried running the game at different resolutions it’s stalling an FPS Boos in client but you know what we haven’t tried running the older versions of Minecraft that this graphics card was actually designed for considering this Graphics card came out in 2012 why not run a Minecraft version that came out in 2012 specifically we’ll be going all the way back to Minecraft 1.3.2 a version of Minecraft that came out in August of 2012 okay we got Minecraft 1.3 to work working oh my God Yeah our FPS is still terrible our FPS might actually be slightly higher nope it turns out it was just the exact same I decided it was time to kill this graphics card and and I knew there was only one way of completely detonating this graphics card so instead of trying To get the most FPS we are just going to try and kill this graphics card and we’re going to see what happens if you try and run ARX shaders on a gt610 it is not going to be nice okay so we’re back on 1.20 CU we’re going to go ahead and Try out shaders video settings shaders we’re going to start off with the same shaders that I used on the 4070 TI and got like 200 FPS traic shaders here we go all right oh my God oh my God okay I’m getting two FPS I’m actually getting two FPS oh my God dude we haven’t even got to RT I’m inside the ground we actually haven’t even got to RTX yet and it’s this bad so whereas we were getting 200 FPS with a 4070 TI we are getting 2 FPS with a gt610 I was hoping for at least 5 FPS This is so disappointing I cannot even walk in a straight line I’m I’m going to try bro I’m turning all the settings down there we go dude yes yes oh my God it’s playing oh my God but can it run up yet we’re going to enable RTX shaders with an RTX texture Pack we’re going to get below zero FPS I’m calling it Zeus ptgi oh no dude I can hear the whole computer screaming oh my god oh no dude no whereas the 4070 TI averaged over 90 FPS the GT 610 can we reach zero FPS dude there’s No way this is one FPS this is like minus one show me zero yes we have done it Oh no I got to BL no the game has died would I recommend playing Minecraft on a GT 610 I would not buy a gt610 of event to make fun of It that that’s the only reason Video Information
