GPUSED’S TAKE

The verdict

The 2GB DDR3 GT 640 brought Kepler into Nvidia’s entry tier, but its memory bandwidth held back the gaming promise. It was a tidy fit for modest display duties; contemporary reviewers found stronger reasons to look elsewhere if the aim was a budget gaming upgrade.

MSI documents 2GB DDR3 and a 128-bit bus; this is a GK107-like configuration, but the die code is not printed here.

A board-specific test SKU is not supplied with this profile. It identifies the recorded GPU variant; a particular card’s dimensions, cooler and power connections need their own check.
