Decent Card September 6, 2010 Morpher Easy to install and works fine with most games, but as with almost every Nvidia card it is incapable
of playing any of the games from the Sims franchise. The infamous blue screen ,constant crashing ,kernel leaking
and inability to shade properly on these games is not worth the frustration.If you play the Sims do not buy this.
If you do not play any of the Sims games,2 or 3, the 9500 is a great card.
It smoothly and easily plays LD42,Dead Space,and any older games run great at full specs with no problems.
Great low-power graphics card September 3, 2010 Timothy Norton (CHENANGO FORKS, NY, US) After looking through the different video cards available here and elsewhere I settled on the 9500gt. It has some decent gaming capabilities, but where it shines is the power consumption. This chip uses 50w. That means it doesn't need the extra pcie power connector and it runs very cool.
Nvidia is spot on with their drivers too so all software runs flawlessly. If you need a low-power card that can run all older software extremely well, and newer software at lower settings this is it.
btw by my testing and research, this card is roughly as fast as a geforce 8600gt, which is as fast as the geforce 7800gt which is the type of chip which is in the ps3 and is comparable to the xbox 360's video chip. If you compare screenshots from newer games like bioshock 2 and others at good settings for this card (low) they look very, very similar to screenshots from the 360 and ps3.
This card is great! August 22, 2010 Justin I bought this card to upgrade from an onboard graphics card. I was hoping for just a minor upgrade to graphics and framerates for games like World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. My expectations were blown away when I popped this card in my system and on high detail has a normal of 60 fps(thats way up from 15 on lowest settings) This card probably wouldnt be great for the newest games out there, but i bet it would be fine for mid-range games if you have the ram and processors to handel them too. Intall was easy too. This card is great!!!
EVGA e-GeForce 9500 GT 512 MB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Card 512-P3-N954-TR July 26, 2010 M. Lance Great graphics card. Easy to install as well as set up. Would definately buy again when needed.
Simple solution for current gaming June 28, 2010 gsoClarke (Greensboro, NC) This card is just what the doctor ordered. The kids purchased some PC games that our old eMachine system couldn't run. This card solved the problem.
