We’re adding a couple of entry-level NVIDIA cards to our product survey today. How do they do opposite the ATI offer?

On the market since October 2009, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 220 512 MB is an entry level model with no great pretension. The card sits opposite the ATI Radeon HD 5450 in terms of pricing.

NVIDIA are also giving us a slightly faster model than the GT220 for an extra 20 pounds: the GeForce GT 240 1 GB. Is it better adapted for gaming and how does it do opposite the Radeon HD 5570?

Don’t forget you can check out all the results of our tests in the graphics card face-off. In addition, the performance tables allow you to judge the performance of each model in a second.
