Nice little folder/htpc card.

 

That is just adorable...

Cute card!

 

somehow i think sticking 380 processing cores with 128bit ddr3 memory is a bit stupid...Seriously, itd be cheaper to use 336 SP's like the gtx 460, and match it with 128bit gddr5. and why would you need 2gb of low bandwidth memory? 28gbs? my radeon 1600 xt had that much when i bought it 5 years ago. Another stupid Cut down card that will be priced so you really gain nothing by going with it over a last gen, mid-tier card...such as a gtx 460 as i previously stated.

 

Got a feeling memory bandwidth is hurting the card and that it would perform better with more of it.

size and power consumption? if you notice, it doesn't require additional power cables unlike the 460.

And that review kills it in my mind. $100 for that card? It looks decent on paper (save for the memory bit width), but the $100 price tag for the performance you see out of it makes it overpriced. Sell it for $75 and it's a winner, but $100 and it's a flop.

 

Does it come in pink and glitters?

 

Very cute card.

 

cute I suppose. not a good buy for $85-$100.

 

If I had one I'd call it "Stumpy."

 

it would be good for a little less.

 

dawwwww its soo cuteee

makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside lol....and want to build a new HTPC

Which you choose at that price?

Probably 7750, due to the use of DDR3 in GT640.

 

So kepler is supposed to be more power efficient than GCN. Why is it that the hd 7750 beats thr gt 640 pretty good on performance and only uses about 3-5 watts more power than it?

Guess gcn scales a lot better than we thought. Kepler... not so much.

 

Awesome, but a big no for me. It's quite overpriced and underperforms the for that price.

 

I reckon GDDR5 will improve performance by a sizable amount. Both the 7750 and the 640 have 1/4 the amount of cores as the flagship (512/2048; 384/1536) so they should perform similarly once the 640 stops being severely bandwidth limited by GDDR3.

 

Seriously? 2GB of memory? I'd be surprised if that thing could use more than 512MB before the GPU itself was totally saturated.

 

Woops ignore me I thought this was another 460 not 640.

 

If someone made a GDDR5 variant we'd have some good competition for the HD 7750. Which is sorely needed, since it's probably the best pre-built GPU upgrade you can make without changing much else.

 

Two slots for the cooler? That's a shame. My 9400 GT has a small cooler that only takes one slot, and that's kinda what I had pictured.

They have a single slot version as well.
