GeForce GT 240, which will be soon officially presented in the desktop segment , is based on the GT215 cores the elder representative of 40 nm NVIDIA chips with directX 10.1 support. On its base Nvidia planned to release two video card, with the video memory DDR3 and DDR5 . The characteristics of these solutions appear as follows:
- GeForce GT 240 DDR-3-> 96 stream processors, 32 blocks sample and filtering textures, core clock frequency : 550 MHz, shader domain : 1340 MHz, 128- bit memory, 1 Gb video memory with the effective frequency 1800 MHz;
- GeForce GT 240 GDDR-5-> 96 stream processors, 32 blocks sample and filtering textures, core clock frequency : 550 MHz, shader domain : 1340 MHz, 128- bit memory, 512 mb video memory with the effective frequency 3600 MHz.
The version with GDDR- 5 memories possess the same core clock frequencies , also in the low-end model, but in this case it has the doubly large memory capacity , the same as in GeForce 9600 GT. Associate tested standard elder version :
The card has a completely compact size, there is no additional power connector, and it has three ports DVI, D -Sub and HDMI. The Power-supply system is organized according to 2+1, while the cooling system takes the completely unusual form.
Graphic processor has the area 144 sq. mm. and it is released, judging by the marking, in the period from 30 June to 5 July this year. Printed-circuit board on the overall sizes is actually identical to the GeForce GT 220:
In spite of superiority in mathematical productivity over GeForce 9600 GT, to exceed the old geForce GT 240 this card was not able.
Practically in all tests the productivity level coincided with the same GeForce 9600 GT. Related Products :
