SPARKLE GeForce 9500 GT Graphics Cards features:

  • Unbeatable Performance
    550MHz core speed, 1600MHz 128-bit 256MB GDDR3 video memory or 800MHz/1000MHz (for Plus version) 128-bit DDR2 video memory and 32 stream processors, bringing lifelike character animation and rich, immersive gaming environments for  DirectX 10 games, suck as BIOSHOCK,  Crysis and so on.

  • NVIDIA® SLI™ technology
    Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single graphic cards configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences by allowing two cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI Express® graphics, SLI technology dramatically scales performance on today’s hottest games.

  • 2nd Generation PureVideo  HD
    High-definition video decoder and post-processor delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video and accurate color for movies and video.

  • PCI Express 2.0 support
    Designed to run perfectly with the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering a future-proofing bridge to tomorrow's most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications by maximizing the 5 GT/s PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth (twice that of first generation PCI Express). PCI Express 2.0 products are fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.

  • Extreme Cooling
    Feature two kinds of extreme cooling systems- passive cooling system or fan cooling system using high technology. Compared with conventional fan cooling system, they feature higher throughput thanks to high efficiency heatsink optimized for mass heat volatilization. It has high performance thermal compound ensures optimal thermal dissipation even after years of use.

GeForce 9500 GT Features and Benefits :
