NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 240: The Card That Doesn't Matter

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Batman: Arkham Asylum is another brand-new PC game, and has been burning up the review charts. It’s an Unreal Engine 3 based game, something that’s not immediately obvious from just looking at it, which is rare for UE3 based games.
As Batman: Arkham Asylum implements anti-aliasing differently between AMD and NVIDIA cards, this is the one title that we do not test AA on, as doing so produces results that can’t be compared.
As another console port, the story is very similar to Resident Evil 5. The GT 240 is smoked by the 8800 GT and keeps parity with the 9600 GT. These higher resolutions aren’t doing the DDR3 GT 240 any good either, where it loses by 30% at 1680.
The one good piece of news is that this is a game where even the DDR3 GT 240 can beat the Radeon 4670. Furthermore at 69fps, the GDDR5 GT 240s have no problem achieving a fully fluid framerate, even at 1680.

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?gayannr - Wednesday, January 6, 2010 - link

You'll also find this card as nVidia GTS360M:http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/12/29/nvidia-gts3...">http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/12/29/nvidia-gts3...
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.selo - Wednesday, July 7, 2010 - link
