Review: NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT,first budget card in GeForce 9 series
GeForce 8600GTS/GT have been launched for more than a year, but till now NVIDIA did not push any new product to replace it. All NVIDIA doing is keep replacing product in the high end segment: 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8800GS, 9600GT, 9800GX2 and 9800GTX. All these cards are 140USD above, and What NVIDIA going to do is going a new GeForce 9 product to replace the 8600GT/8600GTS. That’s our today’s review card: GeForce 9500GT.
Before we post this review, other site have already make some news out of the card: (all in Chinese)
Because of some obvious reasons, we can not post any pics of GeForce 9500GT(except the core shot and cooler shot).
We must point out, PConline in their 9500GT review totally copied HD video playback part of our G98-8400GS review word by word, (of course they copy our Chinese versions so you probably can not read it) which totally mis-info their readers, because HD playback of 9500GT is not the same with G98-8400GS. now please click over to read our whole review.

Can Expreview please retest with the latest leaked Nvidia Geforce 175.63 drivers? Also the GPU-Z version is very old, it’s now up to 0.2.1.

[...] Because of default frequency limitation, GeForce 9500GT did not show much performance. It is totally over HD 3650 but still can not face 8600GTS. But if its default clock raise to 600MHz, then the card can raise its performance to the level of 8600GTS with no questions. From what we know, some companies are ready to unveil 9500GT with 750MHz. But till now availability and price of GeForce 9500GT is still unknown. For a card with X500GT moniker, i say performance is impressive.

Hopefully VP2 is only on leaked card
) (like the case with leaked game Assain Cread), and the final version will be use VP3. And I just hope the price is the same as Geforce 8600 GTS NOW (less than $100).

these releases by nvidia are only to fool the customers in buying slow ancient cards, in reality nvidia is stuck in the rut and cant get out anytime soon so they decided to rip the customers anyway they can instead of competing with the mighty red team. its funny how the tables change in a few days. now all thats left is to see nvidia hand over the crown so that everyone can see who is king of GPU markets.

I lolz at you x1reme. Although AMD will have the fastest GPU when the x2 comes out, this is a low-end card. And as the review shows, it outperforms AMD’s low-end card. Nvidia isn’t trying to ‘fool the customers in buying slow ancient cards,’ they’re releasing lower-end cards to those who can’t afford a 4870 or gtx280.

@fail you make me laugh you clown the NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT cant even beat the old 8600GTS, and which low end amd card does it beat? its people like you that are easily fooled, if your such a nvidia ass why don’t you go buy one of there high end card and be a good bway eh.
nvidia up to there normal old tactics, bringing cards centuries old (sarcasm) to make people like fail think its a good thing. what happens when you buy a pc with this card in it? it wont play HD or any other decent play back. you gonna get screwed by OEM`s selling pc`s.
move along everybody nothing to see here
