Should be - see here. Considering one myself since this card is available in silently-cooled versions from ASUS. Research indicates it's probably the most powerful silently-cooled NVIDIA card available. Currently I'm using a GT 520 with 304.43 drivers. No issues. So I'll be going NVIDIA again. Edit: I installed the card and everything works perfectly. |

I'm using a GT 630 with 2GB of DDR3 now with the 310.19 version driver from Nvidia. I run dual screens and all seems to work well. I would imagine you would be OK with GT 640 I must admit, I'm not sure how much of the card's capabilities are being used...I mostly run a bunch of VMware instances. I have recently disabled 3D accleration on the VMs because I started getting a compatability warning when I started a VM and my displays are sometimes...sticky. I tested glx gears at full screen on one of my screens an got a crummy 70 fps!!! Ouch... Maybe we could help each other figure this out? I can help you through the install process if you'd like...it was kind of a pain. Cheers! |
