The Test

For this review, our GT 240 cards were benchmarked using the Forceware 195.62 drivers, as our normal 190.62 drivers predate the GT 240. We have not found any significant performance differences between the two driver sets.

Also, as the performance of the GT 240 was understandably lacking at higher resolutions, we have once again used our low-resolution test suite from the GT 220 article.

    It also makes absolutely no sense that they compare it to the 9600GT in every performance benchmark and then completely leave it out in the power/noise benchmarks. WTF is this garbage?

    Another good review Anandtech, keep up the good work,
    btw, pics look blurry ? single handed job ? :D

    You'll also find this card as nVidia GTS360M:

    As usual, renaming king at its best.

    This card is the best bang for the buck right now. The review did not compare the card to the competition. The card supports CUDA and can accelerate a number of applications - from playing dvds to CAD and video editing. All in all this was a disappointing review probably payed by a known monopoly which competes with nVidia.

    I have buyed this card in the begining of 2010 the card was in the box new from a guy on ebay for 70$ and at this price it beats all the cards .If i had to buy it again i buyt at 70$ the card is small has new 40nm gpu and it overclock very easy and the power never goes above 70W in idle is only 20w.
    Don`t make this mistake again every card matteer for the right price :D
