Download the new driver for nvidia 610m.

At the time of buying gaming laptop Particular attention should be paid to the choice of a discrete graphics processor - video card. This chip is entirely responsible for processing all processes associated with recording and playing back graphic data. In 2011, the mobile (laptop) model Nvidia Geforce 610M entered the video card market, which to this day is capable of supporting stable operation of most modern games and programs.

Geforce 610M is developed on Fermi architecture and technological process at 40 nanometers. It belongs to the first line of discrete video cards from Nvidia that can support version 11 of DirectX.

1 GB of DDR3 memory with a frequency of 1.6 GHz ensures comfortable operation with a full suite of office applications and undemanding games, and the 64-bit GDDR3 interface allows for a throughput of up to 14.4 GB/sec.

The general characteristics of the Nvidia Geforce 610M allow us to imagine the power of the video card, however, in order to draw conclusions, it is necessary to know the results of testing in games.

Video card indicators:

• Shader processors – 48.
• The number of CUDA pipelines is 48.
• Core with a frequency of 672 MHz.
• Overclocking frequency in Boost mode is 900 MHz.
• Energy consumption – 12 Watt.
• Video decoders – H.264, VC1, MPEG2 1080p.

The GPU supports Full HD playback and is capable of working with the DirectX 12 library. In addition to standard Blu-Ray video decoding, the card is capable of transmitting Dolby True HD and DTS-HD streams without loss of quality to a Hi-Fi receiver.

GeForce 610M Review

The Geforce 610M is a mid-class video card, so you shouldn’t count on extreme power and high settings in new games, but all products in the gaming industry until 2011 will produce about 40 frames per second at medium graphics settings without texture filtering.

Nvidia Optimus technology automatically puts the graphics card into power-saving mode while it is inactive, which saves a significant portion of the laptop's battery power.

Users who left their reviews about Nvidia work Geforce 610M claims that this GPU really saves energy and is capable of running most programs at double speed.

How to overclock Nvidia Geforce 610M on a laptop

Overclocking a video card allows you to slightly increase its performance and slightly increase the core clock frequency. On average, such frauds add 5-15% to the data processing speed, but slightly increase the heating temperature of the case.

In many cases, overclocking allows users to play games comfortably that their card cannot handle. A slight increase in FPS and a smoother picture please the eye and improve the overall gaming experience. Sometimes, by overclocking a more budget video card, you can save money and refuse to buy a more expensive model.

Now let's find out how to overclock GeForce 610M. Overclocking a video card is a change in frequencies:

• graphics core;
• memory;
• shader blocks.

To maintain stable operation with the new values, you need to slightly increase the card's power supply. Before starting operations, you need to find out the performance of the video card in its normal state. It will help with this free program GPU-Z, after installation and activation of which a detailed list with information about the video card will be displayed on the screen.

To change these indicators, you will have to download the Nvidia Inspector utility. After starting the program, click the “Show Overlocking” button and raise the core clock (GPU Clock) to 900 megahertz in the video card settings section that appears. As core frequencies increase, shader frequencies also increase.

Before confirming changes made, it is better to test the card for stability and data processing. This can be done in any video game or special programs(for example, FurMark).

If the specified frequency does not load the system too much and suits you, then you should return to the Nvidia Inspector program window and increase the Memory Clock frequency by dragging the slider to the right. After making all the changes, click the “Apply Clock&Voltage” button to complete the overclocking.

What games will run on 610M

The Nvidia geforce 610M gaming test showed that this card is capable of maintaining a stable 40 frames per second in popular games such as Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Tanks.

More demanding products, like TES V: Skyrim and Mafia 2, will struggle to achieve even 20 FPS at medium settings, since the video card is designed more for office work than for processing high-resolution textures.

GTA V at minimum settings will run at 30 FPS, and most older games, up to 2009, support stable 90-100 frames at high graphics settings.

How to download drivers

Like any other video card, the 610M will not work without drivers. You can download drivers for Nvidia Geforce 610M from the company's official website. A clickable banner to start downloading is located at the bottom of the page describing the characteristics and capabilities of this GPU.

The drivers are suitable not only for Windows 7, but also for the new operating system Windows systems 10. To install the driver package, you must follow the instructions of the official installer.

The base of the card is the GF119 chip, and just like the GT 520M, the video card can have different frequencies, up to 900 MHz, like the 520 MX. The use of a 64-bit DDR3 memory bus can become a bottleneck for this video card. In addition, the frequency of the video card may drop to unpleasantly low levels. When testing the card on a laptop Acer Aspire 5750G the result was a frequency of 672 MHz (which is even less than the 740 MHz obtained on the GT 520M).

The GF119 offers 48 ALUs, 8 texture units, and a 64-bit memory interface for DDR3-VRAM. Thus, this chip can be considered half of the GF108 (GeForce GT 540M), but optimized transistors are used during production. The number of raster processor operations (ROP) remains the same and is 4. The GF119 chip is the youngest in the Fermi generation and is used for installation in low-budget laptops.

As a map entry level GT 610 must compete with Intel HD Graphics 3000 (Sandy Bridge generation chips). The performance of the card also depends on the chip itself, as a result of which the clock frequency fluctuates, and its results are comparable to those GeForce cards GT 520M and GT 520MX. Therefore, for demanding games such as Crysis 2 and Mafia 2, playback is only possible at the lowest quality. Less demanding games like FIFA 11 and The Sims 3 can even run in high detail.

GeForce 610M Supports HD Audio (Blu-ray) streaming via HDMI. This means that the card is capable of transmitting Dolby True HD and DTS-HD streams without loss of quality to the Hi-Fi receiver.
GeForce 610M supports PureVideo HD technology, which is used for video decoding. Video Processor 5 (VP5) D installation is able to decode video formats: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2 (MPEG-4 ASP - such as DivX or Xvid), VC-1/WMV9 and H.264 ( VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation, Deblocking). Compared to the older VP4, the VP5 version decodes faster while using less power.

In addition, the GPU is capable of decoding two 1080p video streams simultaneously (for example, the Blu-ray picture-in-picture standard).

General computing using a video card is possible thanks to the CUDA software architecture, OpenCL and DirectCompute 2.1 technologies. Video encoding is much faster using stream processors. Note that physics calculations can be done using GPU PhysX (as long as Mafia 2 or Metro 2033 is supported). However, this graphics card is not powerful enough to support PhysX at high gaming settings.
