Hello,

Just Received ZOTAC ZT-60209-10L GeForce GT 640 2GB 64-Bit GDDR5 used for $74.99.

I meant to get ZOTAC ZT-61012-10M GeForce GTX 650 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 used for $79.99.

Would it be worth returning with shipping costs and such or is it basically the same?

I never game. I watch movies, record TV, and occasionally transcode video. I do use the HDMI sound for my 5.1 speaker setup. I also use the hardware acceleration for image backups and virtual machines and internet. I have 2 slots open.

I bought this because the fan was busted on my GT 430.

if you don't game, then no, it is not worth the return shipping to return it

Thank you. Can I ask you another question?

For my usage, which Nvidia drivers do I need? I'm guessing:
Graphics driver: yes
HD Audio: yes
3D vision: no
Experience: no
PhysX: yes?

And, will I benefit from the new 337 beta performance improvements?

The 337.5 driver uses dx11 updates to improve gaming performance, so I doubt it's much use to you. Just get the latest non-beta drivers from the Geforce website.

PhysX also no(it's used in games only, and that also some games, not all of them).
Experience: depends, it keeps your drivers updated.
