GT 240

[Toconator]

Just picked up an XFX GT 240 for $34. It's only a 512MB card with 2.0 GHz GDDR3 and it's primary purpose is as a PhysX card. The specs on these are similiar to the old 9600 GSO's. Is it worth folding on this card IYHO's ?

It'll do 3500 to 4800 PPD depending on overclock.

I have one folding for a long time now. Mainly got it because 1. it was cheap. 2. It put out the same PPD as my old 8800GTS with 1/4 the heat and power consumption. I never expected much from it other than to fill a empty x16 lane on a motherboard with a dual core processor. It puts out more than 3x the PPD that the processor did.

I've had one I've folded on too for a long time. The power consumption is low enough - like 70 watts at load - that folding on it can give you some decent points for the power consumed. I ran mine at stock the whole time(card wouldn't take an OC) and I got around 3200-4000 ppd depending on the work unit. So I'd say its worth is for sure.

I've been folding on one for the last several months, ~4300ppd at 600mhz. Measured power increase from the card was about 45watts folding so not too bad.
