Updated: Both GDDR3 and GDDR5 versions listed

As we wrote yesterday, Nvidia's new Geforce GT 240 card will be available in both GDDR3 and GDDR5 versions and as of today, the cards have started to appear in retail/e-tail channels. We've mentioned that the card could possibly come before November 17th as some retailers/e-tailers might start selling it as of next week. According to our industry sources, the NDA date is still November 17th.

The cards have started to appear all over the net, and Salland.eu lists Gigabyte's GT 240 512MB, and specs confirm that the card works at 550MHz and that there will be GDDR5 versions. The card is listed at €84.

Hardware.info site lists couple of Asus' GT 240 cards as well as couple of Gigabyte's cards and one single detail has caught our attention, as apparently Gigabyte will have some cards working at 600MHz, at least if you can trust these first listings.

The next in line is our own price search engine which lists two Palit and a single PNY card. Palit decided to clock their own cards to 555MHz for the GPU while memory works at 850MHz for the 512MB GDDR5 version and 900MHz for 1024MB GDDR3 version.

The price in Europe mostly ranges from around €70 to just over €90 depending on the card, cooler and the amount and type of memory.

Once Nvidia makes a few calls to retailers/e-tailers we are sure that these links will be down, but as always we took some decent screenshots.

Update

As Salland.eu has decided to pull its listing, and probably got a nice call from Nvidia chaps, we have posted a screenshot of the listing, just as we promised.
