In other words we are faced with the same dilemma that bedeviled the GeForce GT 220: Nvidia’s latest card uses very little power, but when compared to the performance it delivers, efficiency is not all that great. Despite its low power footprint the GeForce GT 240 runs just as hot as your typical graphics card. It was quite cool when sitting idle at the desktop, but under load the card was comparable to other 40nm products such as the Radeon HD 4770 and 5770.
