GeForce 9600 GT with 512 MB GDDR3

This MSI graphics card uses the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT GPU with 64 CUDA cores and a 700 MHz core clock. It provides 512 MB of GDDR3 memory on a 256-bit interface running at an effective 1900 MHz. The board connects through a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and supports DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.1. Maximum digital resolution reaches 2560 x 1600.

Dual DVI and HDMI adapter for multi-display

Two native DVI ports and an included HDMI adapter suit users who need two digital monitors or a monitor plus an HDTV. The HDTV and S-Video outputs add legacy analogue options. Buyers requiring native HDMI or DisplayPort connectors should consider a different model.

Adapter enables HDMI without extra purchase

The bundled HDMI adapter converts one DVI port to HDMI, so a digital TV or modern monitor can be attached immediately. No separate cable or dongle is needed for that connection. Driver software supplies standard NVIDIA control-panel features for the supported API versions.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot for this card?

Yes, the card installs in a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and draws power through that connection.

Will the 2 x DVI outputs still work with my older VGA monitor using an adapter?

Yes, each DVI port carries an analogue signal so a passive DVI-to-VGA adapter lets you connect a VGA display.

How can I confirm the 700 MHz core clock and 64 CUDA cores are active after driver installation?

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel or GPU-Z; the main tab lists the core clock at 700 MHz and shows 64 CUDA cores.
