NVIDIA GeForce 6500

The GeForce 6500 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in October 2005. Built on the 110 nm process, and based on the NV44 A2 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0c. The NV44 A2 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 110 mm² and 75 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 3 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units and 2 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has placed 128 MB DDR2 memory on the card, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 400 MHz, memory is running at 266 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce 6500 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface.
