Here is a review.

GT240 and 9600GT perform neck to neck in almost all tests.

With no SLI, it is a gimp card meant to clearly separate the profit margins amongst demographics. Light gamer? Get a single card for 99. Want to run 40nm 10.1 multicard set-ups? You MUST spend more than 200. They don't want those gamers on a budget to benefit from their hard work in introducing, what, a ONE HUNDRED dollar card, unless it is just for PhysX? That is blatant gouging, but i can see why they are desperate. Duke Nukem Fermi.

You can get 2x 4670s for $10 more after MIR. I wonder how that might perform in comparison to this single card?

It just gets worse and worse for the green team tbh. Seriously mediocre stuff coming out of Nvidia right now - it's almost unreal how far they have slipped.

How so?, this card was released as an OEM part months ago and it's appearance in retail has been listed for a while so how is is it getting worse?

Everything is overpriced if you're poor.

Checked Toms benchmarks, and got curious, anyone could explain me why:

1. 4670 is used as a competition to GT240? You can get 4670 for as low as 40-45$ after rebate. Why not use a card in closer price range, like 4850?

2. If you want new card to look better and using MUCH cheaper opponents card, is it really necessary to use downclocked 4670 as well? Why not to go all the way and compare GT240 to integrated solutions?

There are many about these parts that would say that it was done on purpose that way. *Nods head thoughfully* I noticed the "best prices listed" links at the bottom of the front page listed a 4670 for 119.99, and a 220 listed beside it for 69.99. Cue spooky coincidence music, please.

Sad part is, the new cpu/IGP solutions will beat this card next year from AMD.
Also, wheres all the claims of "imagine how good nVidia cards will be on GDDR5?"
This cards a sham and a shame

We ALL know DX10.1 isnt important right? nVidia said so, ATI has DX11, so whats the point?

 

[The_Blood_Raven]

nVidia: "Hah! We can do DX 10.1 too!"

ATI: "We can do DX11."

nVidia "****!"

nVidia: "Well... DX11 is just a fad!"

ATI "You said that before about DX 10.1."

nVidia: "Hah but we are right this time!"

ATI: "No you are not and besides, we can already beat you in DX9, DX10, and DX10.1 games."

nVidia: "Just you wait! Fermi is coming"

ATI: "Coming when?"

nVidia: "****!"

Yeah this is getting sad, common green team we need some competition!
