I was looking at AMD overdirve and to notice my GPU on my apu is at 0%, and temp was also at 0*c. So I started up MSI's Kumbustor to test my GPU, Running that it showed me I got 0fps, frame change like every 4-5 minutes. So I have come to the conclusion that my GPU is dead. So I rushed and ordered this quick replacement card, here. Was this a good choice? It seems to be a good carf for $60 and it's just until April when I can do my new build/get a laptop. Thanks.

I would have went for a 7770 over that. That card is just wow... Integrated is almost as good.

If it was the GDDR5 version it would have been good, but you bought the GDDR3 version which is garbage. Please consult the forum before buying a GT 640.

It's just a short term replacement like I said, I'm just playing minecraft and Gmod so it's just fine.
