Nvidia has finally released the GTX 480 and other cards in the 400 series family – skipping over the 300 naming scheme. GT 240's and similar still trickle out from manufacturers, though. Based on the G92 architecture, it is essentially a modern 8800. GT 240's are proving to be great PhysX and Folding@Home graphics cards, provide DirectX 10.1 inexpensively, and do not require auxiliary power in either 6-pin or 8-pin PCI Express formats, as they run solely off of the PCI Express slot they are installed in. ASUS has provided another GT 240 with 1GB of GDDR5 clocked at 1700 MHz, with the GPU clock at 550 MHz and shaders at 1340 MHz The shader speed is very low on GT 240's and should have a decent amount of overclocking headroom. The memory BUS is 128bit and memory bandwidth speed is balanced with the GDDR5, which is cheaper per IC than GDDR3 and more efficient, and the smaller memory BUS means that the graphics cardis all around more cost efficient – a smart move by Nvidia. The GT 240 can support DVI, VGA, and HDMI output – most users will not need an adapter to use the graphics card immediately.The GT 240 is not SLI compatible, except for the SLI + PhysX mode where this graphics card can be used for PhysX processing solely. Most have overclocking headroom to spare and provide great PhysX processing power, if used on their own they do decently, but don't expect high-end gaming out of this card. If used for the right purpose they can be great graphics cards, though.
