The GeForce 9500 GS was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on July 29th, 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G96 graphics processor, in its G96-259-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The G96 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 144 mm² and 314 million transistors. It features 32 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB DDR2 memory with the GeForce 9500 GS, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 550 MHz, memory is running at 504 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GS does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 40 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. GeForce 9500 GS is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface.
