IS the EVGA GeForce GT 640 2048MB GDDR3 Dual DVI, mHDMI Graphics Cards 02G-P4-2643-KR quiet? My problem with my current ATI Radeon 3400 is noisy!

This card is very quiet. I haven't noticed any noise while working on the system.

My computer is located on my desktop near the monitors. The card is virtually silent.

None here. Runs cool and quiet. I prefer to manually turn up the fan speed to keep the card a little cooler (which, in turn, generates more noise) but even then, it's more than tolerable.

They are a fantastic gaming card for the money. You can see here http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html that they are better than the new GTX 960 in some respects. Super quiet and very cool :D

I have one at work in an open-case tower and I've never noticed it make any significant amount of noise whether the card is fully utilized or idle. It's pretty quiet overall.

I can not hear this card over the normal cooling fan of the computer. Yes it is quiet.

At the moment,I'm running 2 Radeon HD 7950s and with all fans running around 30% and can't hear them at all{including the GPU fans} I've never had to run them at 100% for any reason but I'm sure there wouldn't be that much noise from the case. I'm really please with it. Hope this helps.

I have all fans connected and would say it's fairly quiet. My video card fan is louder then the rest.

I actually have a GTX 770 sitting right here.... I haven't installed it because my Radeon HD8760 has been rock solid. Honestly dont' think i will install the GTX unless something goes horribly wrong with the Radeon.

It can be noisy; you can manually set the speed via the speed control knob on the back of the unit. When set at max yes, it is VERY loud. At its lowest it does create a low hum. Temps only decreased maybe 1-3C, during heavy system load it kept my GTX 670 reference card at a nice 57-60C.

Can anyone confirm what Derek said with this specific EVGA GTX 660 on Amazon? I'm wondering about this, too. Thanks a lot!

The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard. If you download evga's wonderful "Precision X" utility, you can set up your own fan profile. I was easily able to get my card to run at least 10 degrees cooler than it did with default settings, and that includes overclocking the bad boy as much as I can.Be warned, though - blower-style coolers are good but they are also noisy. The reason the default fan profile is pretty tame is to keep noise down. With my custom profile, you will definitely hear the fan when it spins up. I don't mind myself as I never notice it over the sounds of my game. The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard.

Agree with A E Lockwood, this fan is still working fine for me after three years or so. You will have to measure the mounting posts on the evga GeForce gt 610 and also determine if the plug and operating voltages are compatible.

Hi bro, the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 have a better cooling system and more and 2 gb more of memori.

Neither, the card runs fairly cool and actually, I hear far less noise than I used to. At first I did not think the card was booting it was so quiet :p note: I have not attempted overclocking or editing the fan speeds at all. Just out of the box usage.

You can review and compare all 600 series models. Then shop on Amazon for a good price. Sort them from low to high price. So you can determine how high you want to go up in price. Simply put, the more you pay the more you get. The card I have works for me, I am able to play DDO and Defiance well. Here is the link you can look at the EVGA models. EVGA GeForce GT 630 Part Number: 01G-P3-2631-KR sells for $54.99 on the EVGA site.They have seven other models for lower prices.http://www.evga.com/Products/ProductList.aspx?type=0&family;=GeForce+600+Series+Family

Not at all. This video card very quite. I have the corsair graphite series 600T. if the fan go up it produces a bit hiss noise but not high pitched so it is not annoying. the fans on my corsair h100i are actually much noiser. I have these cards in SLI. I would really recommend it its very quite and thermal management is really good. The titanium version just came out you might wanna check that one too. in terms of noise Nvidia is the winner.
