Description
The AMD Radeon R7 240 is a small, low-profile graphics card made for basic display and light computer tasks. It became common in budget and office PCs because it used very little power and didn’t need an extra power cable. While not built for heavy gaming, it offered an affordable upgrade during its time. Today, it’s mostly seen in older systems as a modest but reliable piece of hardware from the early 2010s.
ID: The graphics card features a red printed circuit board with various chipsets and soldered pins, and it is missing its original black hard cover. Along the lower edge is the connector array that attaches to the motherboard. The top side holds a black fan with a plastic shroud, fed by a red, yellow, and black mixed wire on its left, and to the right of the fan sit five visible capacitors. The upper edge displays the “ASUS” logo. On the left side are the display ports arranged from top to bottom: HDMI, VGA, and DVI. The underside shows another “ASUS” logo in the upper-right corner beneath the product key label. On the back of the card, centered, are four screw slots, with one screw missing.
Physical Dimensions: 144 x 69 x 33mm
