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

Left 4 Dead
Valve’s venerable Source engine continues to roll on with Left 4 Dead, their co-op zombie shooter. As the Source engine is CPU limited, this is another title that low-end cards can do well at.
Left 4 Dead is a mixed bag for the GT 240. On the positive side, even with 4x AA it has no issue pulling off fluid framerates at 1680, and the gap between the DDR3 and GDDR5 cards is fairly muted. On the other hand it’s below parity with the 9600 GT at times, never mind the 8800 GT.

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
