Videocards/VGA Reviews by stefan @ 2010-04-10
The GeForce GT 240 video card from Gainward that I have tested in this review does have one of the latest Nvidia GPUs on 40nm, offers performance similar to the 9600GT video card, but does not have a power connector, thanks to the lower power consumption.
The card does look nice installed inside the testbench and does not take a lot of extra space :
From the TechPowerUp GPU-Z utility, we can see some more video card information. Here we can see that the card fully supports technologies like OpenCL, CUDA, PhysX and DirectCompute 4.1 :
Here are also the video card details, picked up by Everest Ultimate Edition. Here we can also see the 2D, low power 3D and Performance 3D pre-defined frequencies. The DirectX version supported is 10.1 and the GPU code name is GT215 :
The card also comes with the EXPERTool utility; the latest version, downloaded from the website is 7.6 :
The utility, which works on most nVidia video cards from various manufacturers ( I was using it since GeForce 6800GT/Ultra days ) has a very nice function like setting the fan speed separately between 2D and 3D modes; we also have the option to let the fan speed adjust itself depending on the GPU temperature :
The application does also have an overclocking section, from which we can overclock the GPU within safe limits :
