NVIDIA announced its entry-level graphics card offering for the 700 series, the GeForce GTX 740. A rebadge of the GT 640, the card is based on the GK107 GPU, based on the "Kepler" micro-architecture. It features 384 CUDA cores, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. Also featured is a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 1 GB of memory. 2 GB variants will also be available. The card has a TDP of just 64W, and should make do with slot-supplied power, although some variants with 2 GB or factory overclocks, should feature a 6-pin PCIe power input. NVIDIA hopes to capture the sub-$100 market with this card. It faces competition from integrated solutions such as AMD A-Series APUs, and Intel Iris Pro 5000 series.

ZOTAC International, a global innovator and manufacturer of graphics cards, mainboards and mini-PCs, today announces the ZOTAC GeForce GT 740 series graphics cards, the perfect upgrade to accelerate visual computing experiences.

Here are some of the first pictures of an Inno3D branded GeForce GT 740 graphics card, the GT 740 iChill. Based on a custom-design PCB, the card features a strong VRM (by GK107 requirements), which draws power from a 6-pin PCIe power connector. It features 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, across a 128-bit wide memory interface. Confirming that the GT 740 is based on the GK107, the marketing poster leaked to the web reads its ASIC string to be "GK107-425." It's configured with 384 CUDA cores, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The GPU is clocked at 1100 MHz (a factory-overclock), while the memory runs at 5.20 GHz (GDDR5-effective).

Cooling the 65W TDP GPU is a similarly overkill iChill HerculeZ 2000 cooler, designed in-house by Inno3D, which uses a dense aluminium fin-stack, to which heat drawn from the GPU, is fed by a pair of 8 mm-thick copper heat pipes, and ventilated by a pair of 100 mm fans. The cooler shroud on which the fans are suspended, can be detached, by simply removing six thumb-screws, letting you clean the heatsink underneath, which has been a USP of Inno3D's cooling solutions. Inno3D also put out its own performance numbers for the card, in which it claims the GT 740 iChill to be faster than previous generation GTX 650 (they're both based on the same chip).Performance graphs follow.

NVIDIA is planning to drag its entry-level GPU lineup through 2014 with the 'new' GeForce GT 740. Reports suggest that the card is a re-branding of the 28 nm GK107-based GeForce GT 640, with higher clock speeds. The chip will feature 384 CUDA cores, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 1 GB of memory. Variants with 2 GB of memory will also be available. The card draws all its power from its PCI-Express 3.0 x16 bus interface, however some custom-designs could feature single 6-pin power connectors. NVIDIA AIC partners will have their custom-design cards out on day-one. Expreview revealed pictures of two such cards, by Galaxy and Gainward.
