NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 Roundup - EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI & Sparkle

Mon 2010-03-08 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

Hardware Canucks have tested and compared four NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 graphics cards from the likes of EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, and Sparkle.

Here's an excerpt:

"Gigabyte’s GT 240 512MB is simply a dolled up GT 240 that doesn’t provide increased performance or anything unique for that matter other than its disproportionately large cooler. Considering its size, this heatsink provided disappointing performance when compared to the smaller examples in this roundup. That being said, this card is one of the quietest in this roundup while retailing for (at the time of writing) about 10% less than the competition. If you can put up with the large, somewhat cheap looking heatsink, Gigabyte’s GT 240 512MB represents an extremely good value for your money and as such wins our Dam Good Value award. Just try to ignore its horrendous looking heatsink shroud."

The GeForce GT 240 might not be revolutionary, but thanks to its 40nm manufacturing process it does provide some of the very best performance-per-watt and it is a fantastic Folding@Home card.
