The Radeon R7 240 was an entry-level graphics card by AMD, launched on October 8th, 2013. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Oland graphics processor, in its Oland LE variant, the card supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_1, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The Oland graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 77 mm² and 950 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon HD 8670 OEM, which uses the same GPU but has all 384 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon R7 240 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 320 shading units, 20 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. AMD has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon R7 240, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 650 MHz, which can be boosted up to 700 MHz, memory is running at 1150 MHz (4.6 Gbps effective).
Being a single-slot card, the AMD Radeon R7 240 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 30 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x VGA. Radeon R7 240 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 69 US Dollars.
