EVGA GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card

This EVGA card uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO GPU for desktop PCs. It connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. The board targets users who need a basic DirectX 10 compatible video output for older systems or secondary displays. It provides 48 CUDA cores clocked at 650 MHz.

Dual DVI and HDTV output changes connectivity

Two DVI ports drive two digital monitors at up to 2560 x 1600 resolution. An HDTV and S-Video output adds analogue television or legacy display support. No VIVO or tuner functions are present. The 400 MHz RAMDAC handles the analogue signal conversion.

512MB 256-bit GDDR3 memory decides fit

The frame buffer is 512MB of GDDR3 running on a 256-bit bus with an 1800 MHz effective clock. This memory configuration sets the practical limit for texture storage and bandwidth in DirectX 10 and OpenGL 3.0 workloads. RoHS compliance is confirmed.

Questions about this item

Will the 512MB GDDR3 memory need replacement later?

The 512MB GDDR3 memory is soldered to the board and is not user-replaceable; if a fault develops the whole card would need service.

What limit appears first during sustained load with the 48 CUDA cores at 650 MHz?

The 48 CUDA cores running at 650 MHz will reach their compute ceiling before the 256-bit memory bus or 1800 MHz effective memory clock become bottlenecks.

How much heat and noise does the card produce when running all day at 650 MHz core clock?

The card uses a single-slot cooler rated for the 650 MHz core clock; expect moderate fan noise and warm exhaust air during continuous operation.
