AMD/ATI has been padding the market with its recently released midrange 5750 and 5770 cards for a while now. nVidiaanswered back with the low end GT 240, GT 220, and GT 210, and low end of midrange GTS 250 (for OEM, GTS 240 and 205) to even out the 200-series line. ECS has equipped its GT 240 NGT240-512QI-F with 512MB of GDDR5 and packed 96 CUDA cores on a 40nm-process GPU core with a 128-bit memory bus. The clocks are set at 550MHz GPU core, 1340MHz Shader, and 1700MHz memory. Other possible configurations are GDDR3 and 1GB memory size. The video outputs are DVI, VGA, and HDMI. MicrosoftDirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.2, and Shader Model 4.1 are the supported standards for gaming. The GT 200s are low power devices that don't even need auxiliary power, so while this card definitely won't be a hardcore gaming beast, it won't break the electric bill either. These look like good HTPC or PhysX cards, at least. 3D Vision works too and gaming capabilities should be similar to the 8800/9600 GSO's with 96 CUDA cores of prior generations so this card could be a capable affordable graphics card for entry/mainstream gamers or users looking to easily upgrade an OEM tower.For any serious gaming, this card and the other GT 200s take a back seat since they are SLI incapable - they do work well as a PhysX accelerator, enough so that in testing of another GT 240 (the Palit GT 240 reviewed prior), aided by a vanilla nVidia GTX 260, that games using PhysX, such as Batman Arkham Asylum, performed far better and allowed PhysX settings to be cranked up.
