Sweet price, good deal.

How does this compare @ $60 AR non-refurb?

EVGA Announces its GeForce GT 640 Series
EVGA kicked off its GeForce GT 640 lineup with two models, a double-slot one (model: 02G-P4-2643-KR), and a single-slot (model: 02G-P4-2645-KR), both of which are priced at US $109.99. The GeForce GT 640 is based on the new 28 nm GK107 silicon, with 384 CUDA cores, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. The cards rely entirely on the PCI-Express slot for power, and support PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. Both models provide the same display output load-out, including two dual-link DVI and a mini-HDMI. The cards should be available right away.

(Newegg and other sources say memory is DDR3, not DDR5)

(I'm wondering if PCI Express is backwards compatible to 2.x?, I'm also wondering about sound levels for Media Center PC, what games this card may play via PCI Express 2.0.)

I like the fan on the refurb, but I don't like the fact it only has a (1) yr warranty, and sale is non-refundable. Cables, adapters may be missing?

Refurb: 1yr warranty.

Return for refund within: non-refundable
Return for replacement within: 30 days

(ZOTAC ZT-60201-10L GeForce GT 640 has a (2) yr warranty.)

PS: Thread on the 640 from June-2012 said the card was overpriced @$100, one poster saying it was worth about $70... NEW.
