Unfortunately as we reported here, Nvidia is playing the re-branding game once again. This time the company is being even more deceptive because some of its product names are direct overlaps. For instance, a third version of the GeForce GT 640 isn't based on GK107 at all, but on the GF116 used in Nvidia's OEM GeForce GT 545. With 114 CUDA cores and a 192-bit memory interface, this card is basically a GeForce GT 545 DDR3 with different operating frequencies. Another re-brand, the GeForce GT 645 is actually a GeForce GTX 560 SE, a recently-released crippled version of the GF114 GPU used to drive the GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Whittled down to 288 CUDA cores, 48 texture units, and 24 ROPs, this card probably performs similarly to the defunct GeForce GTX 460 SE. The only GTX 560 SE we can find available for sale is a $130 card from EVGA. At that price, the card doesn't offer anything compelling for gamers compared to competing products.
