GeForce 9500 GS: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 9500 GS sales 29 July 2008. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Tesla architecture and made with 65 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 512 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 1.01 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 16.13 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 40 Watt.
