GeForce GT 520 Review
GeForce GT 520 is an entry-level GFX based on the 40nm, Fermi architecture.
It's based on the power optimized GF119 Core and offers 48 Shader Processing Units, 8 TMUs and 4 ROPs, on a 64-bit memory interface of standard DDR3. The central unit runs at 810MHz and the memory clock operates at up to 900MHz.
GeForce GT 520 was later (2012) renamed and released as GeForce GT 610.
Therefore, today's modern demanding games are playable using a 1024x768 resolution while modest games can be played using a 720p resolution. Extremely demanding modern games such as Crysis 3 might require extremely reduced settings (800x640 + Very Low Preset) or might not run at all.

This card works relatively well playing the new Steam Early Access game The Forest on 1280x720 resolution with "fastest" Graphic option preset. (it's one option above the actual worst graphic setting, "Laptop") But I also have 20% overclock

I agree with Kalkucha above; GT 430 is far better. 4GB does not benefit the GT 520, VRAM is not significant for GT 520's performance ;)

This card can play most of the new games at relatively low resolution (1024x768) and on medium to high settings. For example, I can play the Elder Scrolls: Skyrim at 1024x768 resolution and on medium settings at a steady 30 fps.
As this card isn't really meant for heavy gaming it still does it's job, fairly.

It means GT 610 is a renamed GT 520, and the GT 620 is the renamed GT 610, which means GT 620 is just the GT 520 renamed twice.
