Anyone that wants to do some folding but cut down on heat and power consumption then this is the perfect card, the GT240. Also makes a perfect htpc card because it has hdmi as well. Rebate is good for two cards.

Galaxy 24GFF8HX2PUU GeForce GT 240 Video Card - 512MB DDR3
$74.99-$20(rebate)-9.37 (12.5% Bing CB) = $45.62 + shipping

Search compusa on bing.com for 12.5% CB. I ordered two for free shipping. This is the absolute lowest price i have ever seen a gt240. These are almost as fast as an 9800gt and pull a steady 4 to 5.5k ppd

Wow sick find. I have been wanting to test the power consumption of these models, and to see if they OC as well as the 8800GS/9600GSO did.

I overclocked mine right away to 600 core no problem. Since these use a different core then the 8800gs/9600gso they pull more ppd when crunching different units.

This is a great Physx card as well.

I have a noob question for you all. I just recently picked one of these up and was wondering what you used to overclock it?

What'chu talkin bout willis?



EDIT: They give it a cooler heatsink because it's not as powerful. In order for them to sell, they need to look like they kick ass.
