Which means that the methodology is still garbage and they know it.

I believe you, but it makes your statement about never pulling over 50w irrelevant since it was a peak graphics system load.

Sorry that came out weird, I meant something along the lines of system wattage under graphics load.

Ehh...probably not....its slow enough that the benefits aren't good enough for wasting a pcie slot on.

The card is too expensive for the (lack) of performance it offers, if it were 60-70$ it would be a great HTPC card. As prices are now the GTX 460 and AMD offerings obliterate it in terms of price/perf.

They should have used GDDR5... and the MSRP needs to come in around $80-$85 for it to be relevant. At $100-110 it gets blown away by the HD 7750.

Actually the card should be quite nice for PhysX. Its main bottleneck is memory bandwidth, which doesn't matter for PhysX. It has 384 CUDA cores though which means it will be comparatively great at compute tasks like PhysX. In fact I don't think there's been a card this good for PhysX at this price point in quite some time. Not to mention it should be great for HTPC use and entry level gaming.

What I find shocking is how good a card the 9800GTX+ was. My offspring has one and I just can't find a decent replacement for it, it's that good. The next best card is the 4870, which I also have (two in fact). This card isn't actually that bad, price is just disappointing as it's grossly overpriced.

Nvidia really dropped the ball by not giving every GT640 GDDR5 memory, like AMD did with the HD7750 and the whole discreet HD7000 series. Is Nvidia really serious, I mean common, 2GB of DDR3? AMD actually used common sense and put 1GB of GDDR5 on the HD7750 and HD7770. Let DDR3 RAM die and burn in a fire please for discreet video cards, let it be used for onboard graphics only because we are forced to. If Kepler performance scales well then a GDDR5 GT640 could actually be good competition for the HD7750. As it stands the HD7750 has 2.5x the memory bandwidth of the GT640 (72GB/s vs 28.5GB/s). I totally agree with what ultralord910 said and he makes an excellent deduction of why the GT640 could compete with the HD7750 if it had GDD5 memory:

As of now the card is a complete joke. The HD7750 laughs in its face spits it out and laughs again. I've been impressed with Nvidia's 600 series thus far but this is almost embarrassing. At least put some effort forth Nvidia. Maybe they will release a GDD5 version in the feature but the GT640 is already fail being released with DDR3 memory and could only be saved with a massive price drop.
