I haven't seen any full reviews on it as yet. I'd suggest looking at the GTX 750/ti for the time being.

In terms of power consumption, they are better than your 450.

GTX 750/ti requires 20 Amps on the 12v rail & a 400W PSU minimum]

GTS 450 requires 24 Amps on the 12v rail & a 450W PSU minimum]

It's in between a 640 and 650. It's too small of a difference to really matter vs a 450.

gt 740 is a rebadge gt 640

Actually it's more of a rebadged 650 since it has an improved tdp and requires a 6 pin that the 640 doesn't have. But it's not really a rebadge since it's different clocks than both.
