New GT240!!!

[JAYDEEJOHN]

Remember the 8800GT? Remember the 9800GT? Remember when nVidia wasnt going to rename the 9800GT to the GT240? Guess the managers were stuck with some

got out the whips on their renaming team, and voila

Remember, these are tough economic times and everyone has to pull their weight

Damn, and here I was hoping to get one on a keyring.

I had a 9800gt at 675mhz core 6 months ago, my best friend had an 8800gt bought 2 years ago with the same 675mhz core. The memory looks a very small amount faster. The shaders seem to be upped a bit though.

It's a lot closer to a 9800gt than anything else.

Well, theres always the 8900GT and later the 8950GT, but I guess its the old 7 8 9 thing, and now we have G240

Remember that 'innovation vs rebranding' slide that AMD made for the release of the 4770? If you can dig that up, now would be the time to post it.

Naw, dont need to kick em when theyre down. But it still hasnt stopped, and after theyd said they wouldnt do it, acknowledging that itd gone too far, and now this?
Somethings wrong over there...

 

[jennyh]

I dont think they said they'd stop the rebranding, I think they just stopped announcing their 'new' cards with fanfare.

Anyway, there you have it. From 240-280, that's nvidia's lineup vs evergreen lol.

planning to buy gt240 1gb ddr5 ,
can it run gta 4 high setting on 1400x900 resoulution

this thread is very old and has no relevance to your question now. but anyway, it should run ok on medium-high detail so long as you have at least a 3ghz core 2 duo or preferably a fast quad core. i had to overclock my 2.4ghz core 2 duo to 3ghz to get good framerates. this is with an 8800gts which is roughly equivelant to a gt240. but a gt240 is a low end card now, imo you should aim for a gts250/gts450 or better.
