[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 883441, member: 11220"] I was on the verge of upgrading to a GT420 when NVidia went and changed their lineup... So the question is whether to get a GT420 cheap (If I can find one anywhere), go for a GT630 (rebadged GT440) or go to the new Kepler based GT640 :confused: (which by the looks of it might be too noisey for my liking (n)) I am quite out of touch with the current state of hardware so would be interested in what people think would be the best card to go for (one that is cheap, silent, uses very little power and is massively powerful would be ideal :rolleyes:) Anything I need to look out for (I see the GT640 is DDR3 rather DDR5 but does this really make a difference for HTPC use??)
