HD4650 vs GT640 vs EAH6450

[otacon]

need a low profile gfx card but which is better? i wanted to get HD7750 but recent months a bit low on budget, cannot anyhow spend money. saw Leadtek got GT640 1GB n 2GB but 1GB more ex, so which is supposed to be better?

please advise

edit : no more comparison with HD4650. just GT640 vs EAH6450

Low is how low? You can try to find 2nd hand 7750 from the market place. You'd probably be better off with the IGP than the 2 cards you listed.

i been finding for more than a week, i missed a offer earlier on as i did not know 7750 was a good card. now still waiting but while waiting, i m trying to find out what alternative cheaper card can i get.

how do i describe how low? i got a few things in hand to buy, things that r more urgent loh

I've just done a quick check (you probably should have done that yourself lol). Turn out the GT640 is a much better card, almost as fast as the new AMD HD7730. Btw why don't you use your IGP, assuming you're using the Biostar 790GXE mobo?

oh, that is very long time ago. i nvr update. i using a lenovo i5 comp now

i do not know how to compare the specs n what to look out for

Of all low profile cards, nothing beats the performance of the HD7750. Next one to consider will be a GT640.

Which i5 you're using? Most of the recent i5 have IGP as well.

Actually, how close is the performance of the HD7730 vs the GT640? I think the former will still perform much better due to the faster GDDR5 used. GT640 is highly limited by its memory bandwidth due to the use of DDR3.

But yeah, between the 2, GT640 and HD6450, the GT640 still is a better choice for me.

There you go Review: Nvidia Gainward GeForce GT 640 Rev 2 (GK208) - Graphics - HEXUS.net - Page 4

How reliable that site is, I'm not sure, don't frequent it.
