The GeForce 9500 GT Rev. 3 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on July 29th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the G96C graphics processor, in its G96-300-C1 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 G96C graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 121 mm² and 314 million transistors. It features 32 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the GeForce 9500 GT Rev. 3, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 550 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Rev. 3 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 50 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. GeForce 9500 GT Rev. 3 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 175 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
