I'm a video card dunce so help me out on this one. I've owned a GeForce GTS 450 since they first came out and it performs just fine for the work I do on my PC.
I play an occasional game but mostly use my PC for Autocad and other work related apps. I just noticed the GeForce GT 640 and was surprised that it's PCI-E 3.0. I thought only the megabucks cards were 3.0.
Anyway wanted to ask if there's any advantage in technology of the GT 640 vs. the GTS 450. I do like the small size and no need for additional power. Lastly if PCI 3.0 is the new horizon, why isn't there any 'midrange' cards with it ?
