ECS Elitegroup NGT240-512QI-F Pro Reviews

motherboards‘s review Edit

ECS has taken the reference clocked GT240 from NVIDIA and added a special cooler from Arctic Cooling’s arsenal to provide excellent cooling for the graphics chip. The card retails for under $100, making a competitor to ATI’s HD 4xxx generation of video cards. NVIDIA’s problem today is two-fold: no DirectX 11 video card to compete and their newest cards only match ATI’s latest generation in feature set without the advanced performance that those cards can provide. If you are in the market for a decent DirectX 10.1 card without wanting to spend the cash you would need for a high-end card or the HD 5750s the GeForce GT240 from ECS is an OK choice.

phoronix‘s review Edit

At this point we are unable to draw any real conclusions about the GeForce GT 240 or this specific ECS NGT240-512QI-F graphics card. This is because of the performance issues we encountered with the GeForce GT 240 running slower than the GeForce GT 220, which is definitely not supposed to happen. This issue was reproduced on two different systems with the latest stable and beta NVIDIA Linux drivers.We are continuing to investigate this issue and will report back when we have more information, which right now may be a problem with the driver or a defect in the card (or video BIOS) itself. CoolBits was also broken for overclocking this graphics card.
