Well-known video card manufacturer Galaxy has decided to double the video memory on its Nvidia GeForce GT 640 video cards and is now offering both a 1GB and a 2GB model of its factory overclocked GC series video cards.

The initial GC series GeForce GF 640 graphic adapter from Galaxy featured a slightly overclocked GPU, but strangely it had the memory settings a bit under the reference default of 900 MHz.

The 1GB Galaxy GeForce GT 640 video card was working at 950 MHz / 891 MHz GPU/MEM frequency settings and the manufacturer is touting the same frequencies for the new model featuring double the memory.

The card is powered by a GK107 GPU that features 1.3 billion transistors and has a modest 65 watts TDP, and thus, the device features no extra power connector.

The slated price is around the $100 mark, which is about €83 for the European buyers.
