Entry 2 GB Radeon R7 240 for basic display

This Sapphire 5.0 model delivers 2 GB of DDR3 memory on a 64 bit bus for everyday desktop work and high definition video playback. The 28 nm GPU runs at 730 MHz with 320 stream processors and supports OpenGL 4.5 and OpenCL 2.0. A PCI Express 3.0 interface keeps the card compatible with modern motherboards. Two screen outputs cover dual monitor setups without extra adapters.

Simple PCIe slot install with 400 W PSU

The card occupies 2.0 slots and measures 152 by 106 by 30 mm so it fits most ATX cases with a single fan cooler. No external power connector is required; the board draws 46 watts from the slot. A 400 watt supply is recommended for single card use. Common issues arise when the power supply is undersized or when legacy BIOS is selected instead of UEFI on newer platforms.

Dual 1080p comfort limit at 46 watts

The 2 GB frame buffer handles 1080p video and light desktop loads with headroom to spare. Memory bandwidth tops out at 1600 MHz on the 64 bit bus so gaming or compute workloads quickly exhaust throughput. HDMI supports 2160p output while dual link DVI reaches 2560 by 1600 for productivity screens. Beyond basic multimedia the card runs out of shader power and memory speed.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the card is running at its 730 MHz core clock after installation?

Open the Radeon driver overlay or a monitoring tool such as GPU-Z and check that the core clock reads 730 MHz under load; the single fan should spin up and the system should remain stable at the 46 W power draw.

Which cables or adapters are not included and must be purchased separately for a dual-monitor setup?

The box contains the graphics card occupying 2.0 slots and measuring 152 x 106 x 30 mm; you must supply your own D-Sub, DVI-D or HDMI cables to connect up to two displays.

Should I choose the 2 GB DDR3 64-bit version or a higher-capacity variant for 2160P HDMI output?

This model is offered only as a 2 GB DDR3 64-bit card; it supports 2160P over HDMI and 2560 x 1600 over dual-channel DVI, so no larger memory option exists for this SKU.
