My main machine features a GeForce 7600 GS which I'm looking to upgrade. My reasons for upgrade is that Nvidia is dropping driver support for it, part of it looks like it's a bit burnt, and I would like to use some of the new technology I'm missing out on like VDPAU and CUDA. I want a modern Nvidia card which is more powerful than the one I have, with all the new tech. Something which I can depend on for many years to come, but isn't a major power drain. I don't need a wide card, power hungry card, or any of that. I don't play games with 3D environments, and my heavy video card usage is large video playback, Command & Conquer series, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Project 64, Dolphin, ZiNc, ePSXe. Which video card should I be getting? Bearing in mine one which should accomplish what I need, and save on my long term electric bill. I'm thinking it should probably be a GeForce GT 610 - 640, but I'm not entirely sure what to pick. Any advice? Edit: I'd like one which has 2 DVI ports, which my current card also has. Edit2: The rest of my hardware is modern and top of the line, so no need to worry about other hardware requirements.

Okay, Aktan and I looked over stuff, and looks like I found a good card (GeForce GT 640 r2). I shouldn't be needing further assistance.
