I am going to buy a new graphic card, Nvidia GeForce GT 610. But I am not sure should I get one with 1 GB or 2 GB DDR3?
The difference in prices is 5 euros, but I dont want to spend much money on this PC because it is old 6 years and soon I am going to buy a new one. Is there a big difference between 1 GB and 2 GB DDR3 on the graphic card?

P. S. The only game I play is DOTA 2. :D

For a GT610 it won't matter between 1GB or 2GB. So pick the cheapest.

Be warned thought that the 610 is not a powerful card, but a quick google search shows it should manage dota.

As a rule I avoid recommending any video card that has DDR3 instead of GDDR5. 2GB od memory on a GT610 is a waste , though for a fiver, why not.

If they have a GT620, GT530, or GT440, or pretty much anything where the last two digits are higher would be much faster. GT610 is literally the slowest desktop card from this generation. I think it is still a rebranded 8800GS which puts it some 7 or 8 generations behind.
