The GeForce FX 5900 ZT was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 12th, 2003. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the NV35 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX 5900 ZT does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV35 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 207 mm² and 135 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 3 vertex shaders, 8 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 128 MB DDR memory with the GeForce FX 5900 ZT, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 325 MHz, memory is running at 350 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 ZT draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce FX 5900 ZT is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
