EVGA GeForce 9500 GT 1GB GDDR2 graphics card

This EVGA card uses the GeForce 9500 GT GPU with 32 CUDA cores and a 550 MHz core clock. It provides 1GB of GDDR2 memory on a 128-bit interface running at an effective 400 MHz. The PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface connects to the motherboard. It supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1 for older titles and applications.

Suitable for legacy system upgrades

The dual DVI outputs and HDTV/S-Video out suit older displays and analogue capture needs. SLI Ready support allows pairing with a second identical card for combined rendering. Buyers who need modern API support such as DirectX 11 or 12 should look elsewhere. Anyone requiring HDMI, DisplayPort or higher memory bandwidth for current games will not be served by this hardware.

Simple PCI Express 2.0 x16 installation

The card fits a standard PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and draws power from the slot alone. Installation is straightforward on compatible motherboards. The main issue arises with modern operating systems where NVIDIA no longer provides updated drivers for the GeForce 9 series. Users may need to source legacy driver packages manually to enable full functionality.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot for this 9500 GT to work?

The card uses a PCI Express 2.0 x16 interface and will also run in a PCI Express 1.0 or 3.0 x16 slot at the speed supported by the motherboard.

Will the 2 DVI outputs on this 9500 GT drive my older VGA monitor with an adapter?

Each DVI port carries an analogue signal so a passive DVI-to-VGA adapter will let you connect a VGA monitor.

How can I confirm the 32 CUDA cores and 550 MHz core clock are active after installing the driver?

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, select System Information, and verify the CUDA Cores field shows 32 and the Core Clock reads 550 MHz.
