Phoronix takes a look at the NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 running on Linux



If you are after a low-end graphics card for use on Linux, up for review today is the Zotac GeForce GT 610 Synergy 1GB graphics card that sells for less than $50 USD. The results in this Linux hardware review compare the GT 610 to a range of other AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards using the proprietary drivers under Ubuntu Linux. Even if you're not interested in the GT 610, this article makes for a nice 12-way Linux graphics card comparison with the very latest AMD/NVIDIA GPU drivers.

The GeForce GT 610 isn't a new low-end Kepler design but rather it's a re-branded GeForce GT 520 (Fermi), so there isn't too much new to share and already on Phoronix was a NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 Linux review from 2011. The Zotac GF119-based graphics card had a core clock frequency of 810MHz and 1066MHz of 1GB GDDR3 video memory.
