yes I now feel should have gone for the 12400... decided against it since the gap was around 3.5k :(
it was a judgemental error and also should have done some checks prior, the GT610 supports max resolution of 1080p in Windows.. :(

now I have a weird issue with the GT610, I am unable to boot to Bios at all, every time I try to enter Bios the display goes blank/no signal
I have connected the GT610 via HDMI cable to my monitor...

but if I try to normally boot the device to windows, it works perfectly.

I have no clue how to sort this..

Next upgrade

- A Good GPU with 8GB or 12GB RAM
- A Good CPU Cooler

New lineups of GPUs should be out in Q1 of 2025. You might be able to buy currently available cards for less. Hopefully there's competition and lower prices.

As for CPU cooler, Keep checking deals at Prime ABGB, MD Computers, PC Studio.

GT610 is 12 years old

Just curious, check date of manufacturing of your GPU. It can potentially be a refurbished product.

For CPU cooler - AG400 will suffice easily.
