The GeForce 9600 GTX was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 27th, 2009. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G92 graphics processor, 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 G92 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 324 mm² and 754 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce 8800 GTS 512, which uses the same GPU but has all 128 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce 9600 GTX to reach the product's target shader count. It features 96 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the GeForce 9600 GTX, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 580 MHz, memory is running at 700 MHz.
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GTX draws power from 1x 6-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 140 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. GeForce 9600 GTX is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
