Review: NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT,first budget card in GeForce 9 series
â—† Cooler of 9500GT

The tiny cooler of 9500GT

Full aluminum fin with a small fan.

Fan made by Protechnic, all recent NVIDIA card’s fan are provide by them.

The back
We still don’t know the official TDP of the card. because of the advancement of process technology, the card will lower than 8600GTS, which means it will below 70W. Let’s see how high the temperature will become when we stress the card using ATItool:

Under Auto mode, the core temperature will rise up to 74℃。
In Auto mode, when we use ATITool’s 3D view to stress the 9500GT, the highest GPU temperature is 74℃. Considering its tiny cooler, temperature higher than 70℃ is normal… For your information, any 8600GTS after market cooler can be installed on 9500GT.

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
