The GeForce FX 5500 PCI was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 17th, 2004. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV34B graphics processor, in its FX 5500 NPB variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX 5500 PCI does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV34B graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 91 mm² and 45 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 2 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units, and 4 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 paired 256 MB DDR memory with the GeForce FX 5500 PCI, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 270 MHz, memory is running at 200 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 PCI does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce FX 5500 PCI is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI interface. The card measures 165 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
