GeForce GT 520MX Review

GeForce GT 520MX is an entry-level mobile GPU still based on the 2010 Fermi architecture.
It's based on the Fermi GF119 Core and offers 48 Shader Processing Units, 8 TMUs and 4 ROPs on a 64-bit memory interface of 1GB DDR3. The central clock runs at 900MHz and the memory clock operates at 900MHz. Expect a power consumption of up to 20 Watts.
GeForce GT 520MX is essentially a fast GeForce GT 520M and so most modern demanding games will have to be played at low or medium settings to achieve fluent frame rates (30+) while older modern games should run from medium to high settings smoothly.
