This review is from: GIGABYTE GeForce GT 640 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card GV-N640OC-2GI
Pros:
All the latest tech has been included in this compact card. Four (4) display outputs (you can use 4 monitors without fuss). Cool, idles at 30C, doesn't go above 45C under load. Reasonably fast. It runs Crysis 2 fine @ 1366x768 on Extreme settings. Practical: full HDMI (no need to spend on additional adapters). Supports the latest generation of nVIDIA PureVideo HD (great for HTPC). Power-efficient, does not need any cables to run, feeds entirely from PCI-Express slot. Quiet (a 100mm fan runs at 48% @ 1500 RPM) but you can make it silent with a quick bios mod (at the expense of higher operating temps, of course). Overclocked out of box, it's a little faster than the usual stock models (with a littme memory overclocking, you can further tweak the card to match your particule needs). 2 gigs of VRAM, great for developing. Runs rock solid with 301.42 drivers.
Cons:
Price
Overall Review:
Please, be aware that this card was not designed for high-resolution gaming (look for the 600 Series with GDDR5 memory onboard instead), in lower resolutions without AA, it's quite capable, though.
