So, my other computer went broken, it had a 5770, which is decent for what im doing with my pc.

But, i'm making my old pc, the problem is I need a low profile and low power consuming [<35w] GPU, I think the Palit/Asus Geforce GT 610 is a decent choice. [My budget is around 40 euros]

I wan't to be able to use Cinema 4D at a decent speed, and play League of Legends/Minecraft at a decent speed.

Any suggestions or should I go with the Palit?
Oh yeah, will that video card work with PCI-Express 1.0?

the GT 610 isn't made for any gaming, though i think it should be able to play those games.
getting a GT 630/640 would be much better since you'll get SO MUCH more for your money when we talk performance (also called price/performance)

I would go with gt 610, but should look into selling the prices of neighboring cards like 620 and 630 cards. Conversely, a gtx 610 would be a significant downgrade from 5770. At your price range it is probably the best you can do, but you probably better served to spend at least 100 euros for a card like 7770 or 260x to avoid buying something that is already obsolete.

Im not sure, it depends whether they have a single-slot cooler for the card. I know Evga probably have a single-slot card.

By the way, I have a 2.66GHZ processor, so i want something that doesn't lose performance because of my cpu

It hard to say in regards to the processor. I can say for sure if I knew precisely which processor it is. Clock speeds are one of the various variants that make up a good processor.

Your processor and gt 610 are on par with each other and shouldn't bottleneck. Anything better, may start to cut it close and gfx would likely to exceed cpu preformance.

So iff i get a 630 / 620 it'd be bottlenecked by my cpu?

Gt 620 would fine. I would expect a bottleneck on gt 630.

I would say that it could just be a mistake or you may be looking at the wrong processor.
