The Little Engine That Could
By SweetPotato
First off, I must state that I was building a budget gaming PC for a friend and I was looking for a VERY good card at <$110. After a little bit of forum browsing, I didn't even see any mentions of anything below an x50 series for Nvidia or an xx6x series for AMD. I searched Amazon for some cards under $100 and finally came across this baby. The card is very small and draws all its power from the PCIe slot, which was a big plus for me as I don't want to deal with any extra plugs. Here are the pros and cons:
PROS
-Small
-Amazing performance for the cost
-Power-efficient
-Amazing performance for any cost
-~760MB of usable 128-bit bus memory gets good performance at decent resolutions
CONS:
-DDR3 memory is slightly out-of-date
-Even 1GB of memory is overkill, the most this GPU can process is ~760MB; The 2GB version is a gimmick

Another thing, don't be fooled by the large amount of pipelines, the 384 pipelines of this architecture are equivalent to 192 of the Fermi architecture (Older 4xx series)

Plays Starcraft 2 at highest graphic settings
By Michael F
I have this pre-installed in my Dell XPS system bought this year, it plays Starcraft 2 on the highest graphic settings perfectly. I also use a lot of photoshop, web design, and watch a lot of movies. There has not been an issue at all. Its not the top of the line, but i would like to see what those "top of the line" graphics cards are doing that this "lower model" is not.

Great compute efficiency
By Jorge Ramos
This card is fabricated with a 28 nm process making it extrememly efficient in GFLOPs/Watt.

4 GT 640 equal 1 GTX 670
5 GT 640 equal 1 GTX 680

when comparing GFLOPs. They also cost the same if purchased separately. But you save both in space and energy efficiency if you buy one of the higher end cards. I've been playing around with the afterburner software and the feature I like the most is taking live videos of your monitor output with no extra cables, but I've found that it does not always respond and restarts are required to make it work. Maybe its my setup, but if you want to capture your video game outputs you should look anywhere else and not rely in this free software.

Hardware-wise the card performs as it should... great for CUDA computing!
