14 DAY TRIAL // Well-known Japanese video card company Elsa, a traditional Nvidia graphics adapter manufacturing partner, is apparently preparing a new affordable Nvidia GeForce GT 640 video card. The new card comes with double the default memory quantity and sports a modest single-slot cooling system.
Elsa is better known for making the high-quality professional Quadro adapters using Nvidia GPUs, but today the company wants to address the lucrative low-end video card market.
The default GPU frequency reportedly is 900 MHz and the DDR3 memory is set to work at 1780 MHz.
Elsa has used Nvidia’s Kepler-based GK107 GPU for the new card and this one packs 384 CUDA cores but, unfortunately, we’re dealing with a low-end model and the memory bandwidth is just 128-bit wide.
There is no official information on pricing yet, but the official launch is slated for this month.
