Gigabyte GT640 or GTX650 (both 2gb OC) - which to get?

[AlpineRaven]

G'day guys,
Tell me which card is better for my needs (both are my main reasons) -

•*HDMI with Audio to LCD TV as I will use the hackintosh as HTPC to playback TV shows & movies, but approx 60% of the time I will - I would rather see it working - will need help with DSDT editing.
•*I'm also considering getting a new monitor someday soon and will exceed 1920x1080 resolution.


-> both cards above are 2gb OC that I am keen on.

What I am asking, both Gigabyte cards are easily accessible to buy from stores in my area, another cards I can also get is EVGA & Asus if anyone comments above that other card is better than Gigabyte? Any objections?
Thanks
Cheers

Bought the Asus GT640 2Gb four days ago. Works OTB with GraphicsEnabler=No (no HDMI audio)

Two monitors attached (1920x1080 HDMI+1280x1024 DVI)
HDMI audio working (with DSDT editing, of course)

Now I'm working around to run three monitors (tested in Win7, working out of the box)

I'm not a game player, I spent most of time working, and playing music-watching TV Sat, so IMO good graphics card for the money, with no problems to install it in a hack

650 performs better in games but if that isn't a concern than you shouldn't worry about it. The biggest thing for HTPC I would assume would be power and the 640 requires less and has some fan-less models.
