Galaxy GeForce GT 640 GC 2GB Performance Review

Galaxy GeForce GT 640 GC 2GB Specifications and Photos

The Galaxy GT 640 GC is a factory overclocked budget priced card that stays cool and quiet due to Galaxy’s custom cooling solution. The shroud around the fan actually flips down so that you can easily clean around the fan without having to use any tools. If you do it, right you don’t even have to remove the card from the motherboard. So now that I’ve told you how cool the card is let’s get to the review!

Below are the specifications for the reference GT 640. It is important to note that this Galaxy GT 640 GC has a graphics clock speed of 950MHz and it has a VGA port instead of the Dual Link DVI-I port listed below.

Below you can find the obligatory pictures of the video card and its box. The retail box contains the card, a driver CD (GeForce 296.43) and a quick install guide.

No value at $100, might have if Nvidia could MSRP it for under $70

This needs GDDR5 or a wider memory bus.

DDR5 and what 192-Bit? For Nvidia that make a $200 part that prefoms like a 7770. It isn't preformance problem, it's a pricing calamity. AMD can give DDR5 and use 128-Bit and wins with 7750 and that can be a had for $85.

The bigger deal is AMD releasing the new HD 7750 900MHz.. It's like a GTX550Ti on 75W.
