I’m seriously behind… since when did video cards get into GDDR5 and how is the Nvidia GeForce N240GT, while having impressive numbers still considered low to mid/mainstream? Anyway, thanks to the guys over at Tweaktown, they throw the N240GT through a bunch of tests and come up with some important numbers…

“Recently we saw NVIDIA release some new models to the market, the GT 210 and GT 220. Today they’ve released another model sitting in the same series; this called the GT 240. While companies continue to tell us this is a mainstream product, we better know it as a low end card.

While we don’t doubt that this model will outsell future mid-range and higher end models when they’re released, it doesn’t make the model any more exciting. In saying that, however, the GT 240 has some pretty cool features like a 40nm core and GDDR5 memory. We’ll get into more detail about this in just a moment.”

Head over to Tweaktown for an in-depth read on a video card that might end up in your next box.
