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

Dawn of War II
Dawn of War II is our other RTS benchmark. It’s among the more challenging games in our collection, leading to there being a definite cutoff for playability.
Dawn of War II is another game that apparently favors shader power over all else. The GDDR5 GT 240s beat the 9600 GT in all cases, particularly when we move below 1680. The Raden 4670 also handily loses here, something that’s to NVIDIA’s advantage since it can be much closer in other games.
Meanwhile for the DDR3 GT 240, this is another rough game. At 1680, the GDDR5 cards pull ahead by nearly 33%.

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
