NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 9500 GT sales 29 July 2008 at a recommended price of $85.99 . 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. 1 GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 800 (GDDR3) and 500 (DDR2) MHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 25.6 (GDDR3) and 16.0 (DDR2).

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 6.875" (17.5 cm). No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 50 Watt.

We have no data on GeForce 9500 GT benchmark results.
