XFX GT240XZHFC GeForce GT 240 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Works great as a 2nd card for tripple monitors.

Cons: None

Pros: Works as intended. VGA works fine.

Cons: For some reason, HDMI port doesn't always work. Maybe a sloppy connection.

Other Thoughts: Works great, though a bit outdated.

Pros: worked great in my son's Dell for 10 months, then the fan got really loud.

Cons: fan doesn't last

Other Thoughts: contacted XFX on monday and i had a replacement cooler by friday. installed on saturday and all is quiet again.

Pros: Did a decent job while it lasted

Cons: Heat-sink fan died after about 9 months - causing all sorts of temperature-sensitive mysterious system crashes.

Pros: When it works, it works great.

Cons: When it randomly shuts down your system hard and it destroys data being written, it doesn't work so great. XFX's return policy/RMA process is a joke, especially for someone from Canada. I'm going to end up paying almost as much as I did for the card to get it shipped for replacement! The response time from XFX support is extremely bad, they do not have reliable free support for their product even within the warranty period. All in all a horrible experience; I will not be returning this card and I will be looking for something else.

Other Thoughts: XFX shape up your support! If you think your product is good, stand behind it! You are isolating those customers who take a chance with your product, even if it is a rare failing.

Pros: Runs cool in my mid-tower case somewhere around 30-40C. Plays Blu-ray, 1080p games on high for the most part. 1 GB of Vram may or may not make much of a difference depending on what you do but it makes a big difference in displaying 200-400 zombies on screen at once vs my other 240 with 512Mb.

Cons: None

Pros: Great card, low power, good price

Cons: Incompatible with Inspiron 530, do a search on google for "Inspiron 530 GT 240 blue screen"

install of any nvidia drivers, even the latest, results in blue screen after a reboot. Don't ask me how this piece of hardware is incompatible, I didn't believe it at first either.. but many others with Inspiron 530's have had the problem and I'm just one more.. Went with a Radeon 5670 and it worked flawlessly.

Pros: Work well for the first 3 months. WoW at med-high setting.

Cons: Started overheating and shutting down all of a sudden. Fan is spinning very slowly and XFX support has been giving me the run around.

Pros: btw, I received both rebates from XFX without incident.

Cons: Rebates do take a little while, but they send acknowledgments for every pending rebate.

Pros: I have three of these cards in three 775 systems. Two are 1GB, one is 512. Matched with G31 ES2L Gigabyte mainboards, 4GB of OCZ 800 memory, and E7500/E5300 Processors. The XFX 240 has a minimum power supply requirement of 350w. (The Gigabyte 240 requires 450w.)

All systems run World of Warcraft, PowerDVD and webstreams perfectly at 720. Great cards.

Cons: Prices are going up....

Other Thoughts: Takes up 2 slots, but only has one pci bracket. Why not just open it up (double-wide external bracket) for extra cooling?
