    You might get playable framerates, but the Moonhawk and T75 will lag because of the CPU. A 765m has similar performance to a 650 Ti, should run well in medium settings.

    Gtx is the model family. So any 765m is a gtx. Its the m that makes the difference in this case.

    Throwing your computer parts out the window can't help.

    I thought they made both GT and GTX for laptops, correct me if I'm wrong.

    Nvidia naming scheme. GT, generation number, model number, 0 or 5. If model is 5 or greater, stick an X after GT.

    Gt610, 620, 630, 640. Gtx 650 onwards. Then 7th gen model 5 (although not truly 7th generation) is a 750.


    Stick an M on the end for mobile variants.

    Basically GTXs are more for gaming. So a GT 610 is a piece of shit and a GTX 780 is awesome.

    Taking it back would be lying. Even the 620:

    The GT 610 is a godly graphics card.

    Godly because its amazing they got so little performance out of a piece of silicon that big.

    When an Intel hd4000 (which is built into Intel processors) is more powerful than your dedicated GPU, you know you have issues.

    I'm being sarcastic.
    I figured you guys would pick up on it sooner.
    My dad bought a GT610 a few years ago. Don't know why. It's a laughable card.

    It has 2 redeeming factors. Just 2.
    A) it will work from a pcie x1 interface which means hypothetically it will run in a mini pcie to pcie adapter (there are a few gpu-less single board computers with mini pcie)
    B) it does have CUDA. A useless amount of it. But its there.



    Speaking of cuda and single board computers.
    I want an nvidia Jetson. But they aren't cheap.
    I also want a raspberry pi 2 model A, except there is not going to be a model A version of it during 2015 :( just the model B, I don't want a B.

    When you ask for a build, you gotta give a budget.
