Hey people, i'm new here and i really don't know much about graphic cards, so i need some help.
I'm planning on getting a new one, i can only afford one of these 3, i know they're old but i don't have the money to a get better one, so please don't judge me.

The cards are: GeForce Gt 210 1gb Ddr3, GeForce 405 1gb Ddr3 and Evga GeForce Gt 610 1gb Ddr3.

My system specs:
Pentium Dual Core E6600 3.06GHz
RAM 3gb DDR2

Right now i only have an integrated chipset (Intel G33/G31) it's really bad and i can't wait to get out of it, so, i'd like to know which one the cards is better, i want it to play games, i know i won't be playing any new games. Probably only games up to 2010? maybe 2011? I don't know, you tell me.
Any help would be really appreciated.

thanks in advance.

What is your budget and what country do you live in?

Out of the three you named, GT 610 is by far the best. That first number is the series number, so GT 610 is Nvidia 600 series, so its newer, and theres a lot more to it than that but simply put its the best of the three.

While that will seem really fast compared to your integrated graphics and can do an okay job at 2010 games, there are a lot of really cheap new and used cards that outperform those and cost about the same price. So good chance there is a better option for you.

I live in Venezuela, i have 4.500 bsf. I would not know how to tell you my budget in dollars, i mean, in comparison with the prices of the cards in the US.

And thank you for your reply, i can get an used GT 610 at the same price as the GT 210, so i guess i'll go for the 610, as you say is by far the best. There are a lot better, but they cost too much for me right now, even used ones.
 
No worries, I will go looking for an online tech store in Venezuela for 4.500 and then double check to see if there is anything better there. It might be those are just the absolute cheapest, but I'm weary of companies selling those cards specifically cause they often run the price way up on them to get money out of people who don't know.

But yes if it comes down to it, the 610 is best. Just like your CPU is a Pentium Dual Core and has two CPU cores inside, GPUs do the same thing. Except GPUs have a lot more cores. The GT 210 only has 8 cores, while the GT 405 has 16 cores, and the GT 610 has 48 cores. So you can imagine the GT 610 is several levels above the others.
 
Well I tried unfortunately I couldn't find any online retailers in your country, so if you see any others that are cheaper best to ask about them here before making your purchase and me or someone else will look at it, if not then just get the GT 610 since its fastest out of the ones above.
