Little late to the table are they not, 640 has been out for a while.

Can you not buy the 650 for $80-$100 dollars right now?

Nice for a low profile card, but approx. $100 feels way overpriced.

64bit nice way of crippling the capabilities of GDDR5.

Looks like the Galaxy 640 I gave my father-in-law about a year ago

For everyone confused, this is a GDDR5 card compared to the DDR3 of other GT640's.

If you look, all of those were recently released. This is Gigabyte's first GDDR5 640. Sorry for confusion.

64bit? I thought GT640 is 128 bit.

Google "GK208" and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

that $100 price tag seems kind of high for a GT.
