would this or a Galaxy GeForce GT 640 GC 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 HDMI/DVI/VGA Graphics Card, 64TGF8HX6FTZ be better

according to the stats: the 1GB DDR5 card is limited to a 64bit memory interface, when 128bit is normal, and the 1 GB DDR3 card has 128bit. but all other stats seem to favor the 1GB DDR5 card, which is slightly more up to date.

Yes it is better, the one from Nvidia that is similar and quite a bit superior in some points is the 750 gtx.

Looking up the specs for that online, I do not think it would be a wise idea to buy this kind of graphics card. Power isn't the problem, but your ram and Processor might be.

I like my EVGA GeForce GT 610 I watch a lot of videos too, looks great. One warning make sure you know how work with windows fonts, they changed when I installed the card. I'm using 8.1 though

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have?? Woody

While it has the performance to play most modern day games, it doesnt reach its peak capabilities due to the graphics card. If you are looking for gaming, its recommended to get a resolution of 1920x1080 and a graphics cards that is a Nvidia GeForce gtx model of the series rather than an nvidia geforce gt. Only problem is the cost will be. much higher, so if this is in your budget, this isn't a bad choice

Yes, but remember this is an old machine. There are faster alternatives with better graphics cards.

I'm using this board right now and it's pretty good. I would say any nvidia gtx hight than 600. It might be old but it performs great. Just be very gentle when installing it.

When I purchased this model in December 2012, it included an nVidia GeForce GT 640 with 1 GB or DDR5 memory. I hope this helps.

only belong to the game you want to play,if you want to play crysis3 or other games like this and with three displays or more, i think that you need more powerful card like gtx780ti or titan, if you only play some small game like plants and zombies，i think you only need gt650

it should work as long as your power supply has the appropriate 6-pin connector. The 2GB one might be better in some very specific games or apps, but unless you need tons of VRAM then I think the 1GB version is plenty.

I wouldn't recommend it as a gaming machine, I would find a better graphics card setup and faster processor.

This is not nearly the best bang for your buck you could get out of a graphics card. If you're on a tight budget I think there are other places you could spend your money, or other video card options.

That GeForce gtx is the video card. It's not top of the line...but I've had no problems with it. It plays video games well.

You would have to get a short like gtx 750 because the CPU is integrated to the motherboard and the USB 3.0 is in the way of the GPU but if you don't care about having USB 3.0 than you could put a medium size card in it

It certainly can. Intel UMA is really just a fancy term for saying that your graphics system uses the system RAM rather than having its own dedicated memory for graphic rendering. That said, a stand-alone graphics card with its own dedicated (faster) onboard memory will give you better results. It depends on the level of detail and performance you are hoping to achieve but purchasing a reasonably low cost graphics card +/- $100 could drastically improve your gaming experience with this and all games like it.

My honest opinion is if you are spending the amount of money you are for that motherboard I wouldn't cheap out in the video card. I think GeForce video card would be better as it has built in video streaming programming into it for twitch.tv ect but I do not know all of the specs of the new geforces. This video card is pretty good. Modern day mother boards come with pci express slots that are universal to all gpus there isn't any difference to my knowledge from pci express 2.0 and 2.1 other then bickering from amd and nvidia.
