NVIDIA is launching a new mainstream graphics card today, aimed squarely at consumers in the market for a relatively low-cost upgrade from an integrated graphics solution or older entry-level GPU. The new GeForce GT 240, features a GPU outfitted with 96 processor cores, 8 ROP units, and 32 texture filtering units. In addition, the GT 240 GPU is manufactured using a 40nm process, it features a GDDR5 memory controller (that’s also compatible with GDDR3), and unlike NVIDIA’s current high-end GPUs, the GT 240 is DirectX 10.1 compatible. Although its specifications aren’t terribly high-end in light of NVIDIA’s more powerful GeForces, the GT 240 is actually more advanced than its counterparts in a number of respects. Come on by and check it out…

Not sure why Nvidia decided to bring out these budget cards.

Well they need to compete with ATI somehow.

ATI is going to win! no point in doing this, they should just focus on their top cards now.

Oh but they are. Ever heard of something called Fermi?
Yes, and they released photos of their card on facebook today
Atleast we know that this video card(GF100) only needs a 8-pin and 6-pin PCIe power connector to run it.

True, it also runs DX11 if you looked at the monitor on their shot posted on facebook.
Maybe some people are still being hit by the poor economy

Well there are cheaper cards than this.
Well it appears that way anyhow but you never know ever since Nvidia revealed a fake Fermi.

even if this one;s fake, they need to try and hype themselves up now ati has been releasing a lot of 5xxx series cards
Until they have an actual working card, nothing they do will help because ATI is ahead of the game while Nvidia trails on with a bunch of BS.

well, this card is pretty good for the cost to performance ratio, there's always something really cheap, but can it perform?
i'm sure it will come soon, else they'd be dead in the water.
Sometime in January is the rumor.
If you like budget cards. I prefer to play my games with no lag.
Well, at least it's soon… woulda been nice if they released before christmas. But i'd prefer they take time and make their card better.

just play on lower settings with a budget card, still no lag.

Play with lower settings? No thanks. I would rather not play then to not experience atleast some decent visual details.
low settings doesn't mean bad visuals. It's just not as good
