EVGA 02G-P4-2645-KR GeForce GT 640 2GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Great little card. Got it for my HTPC. Runs flawless!!!

Cons: Wish it was about $20 cheaper. Got mine for $99.

Pros: Works great. Bluray and digital HD are excellent. Got it for my HTPC i3 system. Didn't need a gamer. Just need something better then onboard graphics. Gotta love EVGA!!! Stick with this brand.

Cons: Would be nice if price was down a bit. Ha.

Other Thoughts: Must install the drivers first before using the HDMI (Mini). Otherwise you will have a blank screen. Had to attach a second screen to my HTPC DVI port for installing drivers. Thought I had a DOA. On a second note. The UPS delivery guy left the package on the sidewalk. About 12 foot from my door. Don't know why he did that. Someone could have taken it.

Pros: Very good all-around performance, easy to install, no problems so far.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: This is the ideal video card for those who want a simple, low-budget, good-performing system. Just don't expect too much from it and you'll be happy. Recommended for 20 in. and/or smaller monitors.

Pros: It is probably a fine card.

Cons: The searching mechanism should distinguish between DVI-I and DVI-D. I was looking for a low power, dual-VGA capable, high performance card. I use a KVM switch with VGA for multiple computers used for various purposes and wanted to avoid yet more upgrades.

Other Thoughts: So I was looking for either dual DVI-I or VGA with DVI-I and they look pretty scarce, none that I could find in high performance.

The Radeon 7750 looked ideal as far as relatively high performance and low power, yet it has DVI-D with VGA. None of the even higher performance cards have dual VGA capability either. Some had 1 VGA with 2 DVI-Ds even.

So Newegg made out well, I ordered a GeForce 430 for my current low power build, and a GeForce 550 TI to upgrade an 8800 GTS 320 in another computer. Both cards appear that I can create dual VGA.

Pros: Wont know, unusable, no true Dual DVI outputs unlike in description

Cons: Description is incorrect, it says 2 DVI outputs, it is really 1 DVI output and 1 DVI-D output.

DVI-D cannot be adapted to VGA, only DVI can. I need 2 DVI outputs for conversion to VGA.
You can see the DVI-D output in the photo, it lacks the 4 pins of the other output.

Other Thoughts: Looks like few current decent performance cards have 2 true DVI outputs. I will have to spend a lot of time searching through the current offerings to find 1 that will work. Radeon 7750 was the other possibility and it has the same problem.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

The information regarding these DVI ports are labled clearly on the box and in the products specs on the EVGA website.

Thank you,

Pros: I needed a single slot card for an htpc build and I found this to be the best you can get for that type of card. Takes up very little space with no external power. 2gb of ram is welcomed.

Cons: None really. Maybe a tiny bit expensive. Buy one get one free?!? ; )

Other Thoughts: I decided what the hell, i'll test a few games and see what happens... Well, If you plan to game on this card at 1080 resolutions, good luck with that. 1600x900 on medium to low settings is more ideal. 1280x720 would be your best bet, with Crysis 2 on high settings, 16x texture and 2x AA I get around 40 to 60 fps at 720p. Uses about 98% Of the card. That's with an old Core 2 Quad Q9650. I would say this is equivalent to if not a little better then console graphics. Would buy again.

Pros: Nice Little Card! Compact, powerful, and 2 GB RAM. Price was slightly higher than I would have expected, but decent deal none the less.

Cons: None!

Other Thoughts: Bought this for a build for a local church to stream video and DVD presentations.

Build:
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3 AM3+ AMD 970
AMD FX-4170 Quad Core (4.2 Ghz)
Rosewill 600 Watt Power Supply
EVA GT 640 video card
ASUS DVD 24x rewritable
8 GB Kingston HyperX RAM.

Pros: Decent card for the price. Easy installation. No problems to date.

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: My setup:

EVGA Z77FTW MB
EVGA GT 640 VGA
I5 3750 CPU
16 BG RAM
10 HDs
Lian Li A75 Case
PC Power and Cooling MKII 950w PS

Pros: Cheap, easy to install, works well for business and browsing. Very quiet card!

Cons: Not quite as good as I'd hoped. Diablo 3 on max settings has a slight flps lag, though I don't know fps numbers. WoW on ultra is about 25fps max... I expect Skyrim to do a bit better because of the physics engine, but I haven't tested it yet.

Other Thoughts: This card replaced a burned out Radeon HD5670 with 1gig of DDR5. The graphics this card gives in those two games mentioned above are comparable to the 5670 in quality, but not in speed. 5670 would max out WoW at about 37fps with 4x AA. To get that fps from this card I need most settings on 'good' at 1080p, although I can kick the AA up to 16x without much harm.

Manufacturer Response:

Hello,

We generally recommend at least a GTX 650 or higher for strong gaming. The GT 640 is more for media, desktop applications and entry level gaming.

Thank you,
Brandon B

Pros: This was one of the few places that I intentionally skimped to meet my budget on a new rig for casual gaming. The GT 640 however has certainly not cramped my ability to enjoy my games, either visually or with respect to performance through FPS stability. I play Valve (HL) games + SC2, NS2 & Torchlight II, and can play Valve games at max settings with no FPS drops. I play the rest of my games at high settings with no noticeable or gameplay-inhibiting FPS drops. Visually the experience has been great, and I've remembered that it's half the fun of playing games! Graphics performance scores 7.1 using the Win 7 Assessment Tool. Card runs quiet and cool (not doing any overclocking). Highly recommend for a casual-gaming experience and/or a budget build where this isn't going to be the crown jewel.

Cons: None.
