Unboxing Video & Image Gallery

The card comes packed nicely in a small but sturdy cardboard box. The card itself is packed in a small white box which is held between two pieces of foam, a novel idea to prevent the card from any damage during shipping.

Galaxy tends to use non-reference coolers on their cards. The coolers are either their in house designs or designs from established players in the cooling industry such as Arctic Cooling. We saw an example of this in our Galaxy GTX 275 Overclocked review. On the GT 240, Galaxy is using an in-house designed cooler. Adopting a full metal design, with a cover made of aluminum the cooler is said to offer temperatures 10-15 degrees lower than the reference cooler.

The card offers HDMI, DVI and VGA output options, a trio that we have seen on Galaxy cards in the past. The card also includes an on-board HDMI audio processor, first seen on the G210 and the GT 220. This removes the need to use the S/PDIF cable to route audio through the video card for HDMI output.

Use of the 40nm process for the GPU fabrication, has allowed Nvidia to lower the power consumption of the card. As such, this card does not need a power connector. It draws all the necessary power from the PCI-E slot.

Let’s take a look at the images first, then the unboxing video.
