  • @Dewnby no i know it is no way near gtx460 but i m saying that my ati 5450 is beter than 9500gt.......thats what im saying

  • @inderpreet6847 Okay.

  • @Dewnby u have which grphic card?

  • @inderpreet6847 gtx 460

  • whats power supply do you need for that card? my pc is the hp pavilion verde se and it has 300 watts power supply please help

  • Man, used to think this card was boss.

  • I use this card with a 3.9ghz AMD and 8GB DDR2 ram and it plays WOW great! I am in the process of setting up a SLI setup with 2x of these cards. Great bang for the buck!

  • will it run wow on max or atleast on high? i have a 3.2ghz cpu ram is only 1gb (upgrading that for sure..)

  • @borz34 No it really wont, And i wouldn't spend money on this card atm.

    I use this card and i really want to upgrade, buy a 460 gtx if ur gonna upgrade for cheap these days.

  • @MageDb0w thanks man really helps :)

  • Can this card run flight simulator x on highest graphics? Also can it run mafia 2 someone please respond

  • Can this run Microsoft flight simulator x on highest settings? Also can it run mafia 2 on low or medium settings? Someone please respond I am thinking of getting this.

  • i hate nude cards i want fully loaded packed cards

  • i had a 8600 then it broke cuz i played on a storm and later that day i got to te shop and tey replaced it with this peace of crap stupid storm

  • can i run this on a 250W PSU?

  • @chadsani The minimal psu is 350W, it said on the geforce site.

  • whats the price

  • please any one tell me which GPU is better HIS radeon HD 6450 ddr3 1gb

    or geforce 9500gt 1gb

  • An XFX nVidia 9500GT can run Mafia 2 @ 800x600 Maxed Out at more than 30 fps.

    and Crysis @ 800x600 All high (not very high) with 40 fps..

    Its true...very very good...i chose this over 4550..i dont regret..

  • I'm getting this

  • what does overclock means?

  • @Ninchiboy to increase the power of a component so they run faster but by doing so the component gets hotter and use more power

  • @CRUSTYCREEPER so it can run games with even high settings?

  • @Ninchiboy not all, but the performance should be a lot higher eg. higher frames per second, slightly higher settings and other small details that i cant think of.

    if you go to overclock be sure to have a good form of cooling (lots of high speed fans?/water cooling?/lots of airflow?)

  • @CRUSTYCREEPER you can say that 2; a auto settings is a setting where a computer everytime works and oc is a user setting to use the "real" power of a hardware [i use a comlete oc of 20% on gpu,cpu & ram on over 60%]

  • This or 5450? I have an amd athlon x2 and want to play games like dirt 3

  • @TomHopkins24 this card and a amd athlon x2 setup should run dirt 3

    source: same porcessor and got this graphics card and can run it and most new games

  • @CRUSTYCREEPER Is almost as good as xbox 360?

  • @TomHopkins24 anything is better than a xbox 360

  • Guys i have dual core E2200 and 1 GB ram . Should i upgrade it Core 2 duo . Or buy a Nvidia 9500 or 9600 Gt graphics card to Play Assassin's creed 2 and Brotherhood Smoothly

  • I remember watching this video 2 years ago, days later i bought the video card and it works like a dream to this day. I want to say thank you for making insightful videos.

  • Nice graphic card :)

  • What's the difference between the EVGA and the Sparks version? The Sparks version I'm getting is 1GB instead of 512MB but it's a low profile PCI because I don't have PCI Express.

  • i play crysis on this card at 60 FPS and yes its overclocked :D

  • @l0oky1 do you know if it works with sc2 if you overclock it?

  • @Morgoth780 sc2? You mean Starcraft 2? of course it works haha :)

  • @l0oky1 if it isn't overclocked does it not work?

  • @Morgoth780 every game works even if its not overclocked only thing that changes is FPS ( Frames Per Sec ) or Speed..

  • @l0oky geforce 9500 gt or geforce 220 gt? which one is better? can you play games at medium settings on any of this?

  • @l0oky1 yeah unless your card is just awful that the game can't run at all

  • @Morgoth780 Do you have any idea how 2 of these in SLI would hold up against a Radeon HD 6670 Asus 1GB 128-bit GDDR5? I,ve been wondering for a while, and you seem like someone who would know.

  • @rahmanroni i would probably say a 6670, but i'm not entirely sure. this card suffers in newer games cause the clock speeds are fairly low, not the memory.

  • I have an Intel Celeron CPU E3300 2.50GHz, 3.25 GB RAM, GeForce 9500 gt 512 megabytes .. call of duty and can not play on full graphics, because I should be fps: / 1024x726 and maximum of 125 fps've got something that I know well redundancy GeForce 9500 GT graphics, 512 megabytes to 250 fps I had to 1024x726 or full? (Please

  • if you play assassin's creed brotherhod your pc blows up -_-

  • is this card better than an ati 5450?

  • @Gavin66627 I think its almost same

  • Not sure why he says no crysis....It plays crysis at 25 FPS on max settings.Thats impressive for a 40$ card

  • What's this compared to the 9100, I need an upgrade and i'm looking for one under 100$

  • does this video card require an outer energy source or does it take its power from the motherboard.

  • HI,

    I am using a 27 inch imac hooked up to a belkin av360 that allows hdmi(1080)

    hooked up to my ps3

    now that would be fine, but the imac wont go to 1080p, so it drops to 720, so it looks like crap.

    would this video card change my imac's graphics?

    And if so, how would i connect it to my computer?

  • @sniperdude2222 you use a imac your comment is invalid

  • I have a an Intel Core QUAD CPU Q6700 and 4gb ram but i have 9500gs overclocked to 600MHz i can run cod black ops at max on 1024x768 at 30Fps.

  • @ChackaLockTahPuss I have 4.00GB RAM, and an Intel Core QUAD CPU Q8200 @2.33 gHz-2.34 gHz

  • is this good to play COD4, MW2, and Black Ops on max settings? for pc

  • @FullCharge82 Depends on the resolution, it can max almost any game on 1024x768 with a slight overclock

  • @Praylv my highest resolution is 1600x900, but 1024x728 is available for me.

  • @FullCharge82 Well you'll need a better card if you want to max any game on 1600x900, because 1024x768 won't look good on such a big monitor

  • @Praylv My monitor isnt that big aha. I don't exactly like the 1600x900 resolution in anyway. I usually play on 1024x728 and it looks fine w/ my ATI Radeon HD 3450.

  • @FullCharge82 Well thats ok then i guess :). It's a good card for the alue, i can get the ddr3 model for 40 bucks here, really a good value card, but still 'd suggest atleast a 9600gt or an HD 4670 wich costs only 70 bucks (atleast where i live :), all Amd cards are a lot cheaper than equalivent Nvidia ones here.

  • @FullCharge82 You can't play Black Ops with this videocard

  • @greem63

    Nonsense, the official requirements have the 8600GT listed and the 9500GT is the update to the 8600GT.

    I beat it on my 9400M G.

  • With this, could I play most of my games on High or Ultra High in a 1366x720 Resolution?

  • thanks bro...

  • i saw the heatsink..............and i loled.

  • i think it will be good for my gta 4 :)

  • bro...my pc spec is

    intel core 15 2500k

    mobo asus p8p67 pro

    2gb ram

    500MB sata hdd

    so,my question is...do i can use this evga 9500gt for a while....????i mean.....i realise that i should go for gtx 570..but i don't have budget for it...so i have to save money for gtx570 it....abotu 2 month maybe

  • @jeggeggo i dont know exactly but try to get info about 9800gt. if it suits u and ur system then buy it. its a good and the best of 9xxx series

  • this isnt logan

  • Will i be able to run TERA or RIFT with this card?

  • @NonEpicMealTime look up yougamers on google really handy.

  • and it's a 3D ready ;)

  • my old GAAMING card :P in the time it's correct for my budget and play cod crysis it's not the best but for the price in the time 70$ this and 280 9800GTX when you have only 50$ a week the choice it's easy ;)

  • jdhjsdc

  • So can this work for The sims 2?

    Please answer, i've been searching but no answer so please tell me if it can work on sims 2!! ~Thanks if you reply :)

  • @CampRock655 works fine with the sims 2 =)

  • @basbas63 Thank you so much for answering, it was really helpful :D

  • Will it work for SC2?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • does anyone know if this will work for magicka?

  • I play crysis on with this card, its awesome, I can play all new games, I play black ops too, mirrors edge, GTA IV ect...

  • Can anyone tell me how I can find out if a grafiphicscard is compatible with my motherboard or not?

  • @Ashadow700 i think tigerdirect have a video about that search there videos on the profile

  • i play with GeForce 9500 GT 1024mb the Crysis 2 Demo Version on Middle with 40 fps after 3 Years. Good Graficcard

  • @FlashSessions your card is weak, i have a 9500gt 1gb+ [2010 model, upgraded on perfromance] and it was @ crysis 2 with 30 fps and i had max. quality settings on forceware + ultra graphics in crysis @ 1024x768 pixel

  • @Wolfsblut51015 Idiot check price-performance ratio. your life is weak

  • @FlashSessions if you don´t know how to use hardware your the idiot here!

    i don´t know your system but i even play high end graphics in new games like hard reset in dx10/dx11 on 30 fps in hightest settings. and a gpu doesnt matter so much you must have a cpu that work with the gpu. on your settings i think you don´t even have a cor 2 duo @ 2,5ghz or amd +5000

  • Comment removed

  • @Wolfsblut51015 Zudem muss ich auch ehrlich sagen das ich sehr amüsant finde das du etwas über meinen Rechner zu wissen scheinst obwohl du selber sagst das du keine Ahnung hast was für ein Rechner ich hab^^

  • @FlashSessions aber was deine gpu kann weiß ich, irgend etwas anderes ist zu schwach aber die gpu nicht.

  • @Wolfsblut51015 Ok aber jetzt musst du mir nochmal auf Deutsch erklären was das anliegen für dein flamen ist ?

  • @FlashSessions was für ein anliegen? das die gpu nicht zu schwach sein soll oder was?

  • @Wolfsblut51015 Nein, ich frage mich nur was du überhaupt von mir willst.

  • My fathers friend built a computer using the graphics card when i was 8-10 i think?

    I was so happy cuz i was sure its strong since its 9000 sireas...

    But man o man i was wrong :\

    Well i cant complaint.

    It was built for movies and light games not crysis....

  • I need help. What thing i should do before i can watch blu-ray on my computer?

  • @Maul9999 Buy something like a radeon HD5450 and a blu-ray player for your pc :), make sure your power supply can handle the card and that it fits in ur motherboard... that is all :)

  • @basbas63 Do it look like i ask for new video card? No.  Geforce 9500 GT is good enough for blu-ray movie. All is i ask a question about what item do i need ready. my system would be pass if i got player and software only, but i ask if any more i would need to buy item for my video card. My GF have SIPOF port audio and other port.

  • @Maul9999 next time give more details when you ask something ;) :P

  • @basbas63 Okay :).

  • I have this, lol

  • i dont get it so a 9500gt it says its ddr2 so will that work with my computer even tho i have a kingston 4gb dd3? im a noob so. someone help?

  • Will this card run on a 250 power supply?

  • @MarcosFabianTv

    It might,But if u want to run it without any problems u need atleast 350w.

  • @OfficialPikkon Got it, am getting a Antec EarthWatts 500w really soon. I think that should suffice.

  • @MarcosFabianTv

    Are you getting a 9500GT though? Why?

  • @Usul573 Am not getting a 9500Gt anymore. I might get a GT 240 or a GT 430. I haven't decided yet.

  • @MarcosFabianTv

    Those are certainly better, considering you can get those cards for around $70-$85 I feel buying a 9500GT these days is pointless, unless you're really cheap or really poor or something.

    I'm not that big of a fan of the GT 430 since it's basically a slightly stripped down GT 240, but it's certainly decent.

  • @Usul573 What's a better card than the GT 430 for around the same price?

  • @MarcosFabianTv Depends on exactly what you want to spend. What features you want. What performance. 5570 and 4670 look like they roughly tie the GT 430, they can be around $65 to $80. The 5670 is faster than the GT 240/GT 430/5570/4670. It's around $80 to $100. The 9800GT can roughly tie the 5670 and can be as cheap as $66. 5750 is the next step and is faster than all these, can get to around $110. Then 5770 at around $135. They all work on 500w. Very tight $60-$140 area.
  • @Usul573 I got a HD5770 running on a 400W quality psu so not 100% true :) anyways the rest is correct ^^

  • @MarcosFabianTv get a gt440 if you are in a budget

  • ocd at all??? thats impossible if not

  • Comment removed

  • Am I going to have problem if my monitors max resolution is 1440x900 ?

  • i will buy this nice card ddr2 1gb ;)

  • has anyone crossfired this? if so how does it run?? can you play css/codmw good with a 22 in monitor

  • @hecjr82 crossfire = ati

    SLI = nvidia

  • best card ever :)

  • Iam not best at videocards but does this have Hardware T&L ?

  • @teddybebis

    Yes. every card from the last five years or so has it.

  • Someone i know told me that if i upgrade to a GeForce graphics card everything will be wiped off my computer, is this true ?

  • I have a windows pc, dual core 1,86GHz 3,00 GB ram and a Nvidia Geforce 7900GT/GTO, it runs youtube smooth in 720p and runs my full hd screen thrue DVI.

    Though my problem is the noise. My card makes a lot of noise bcause of the van and I was searching for a card that:

    -has hdmi output

    -is quiet

    Questions

    -do all cards run on my pc so I don't have to worry about buying something that just isn't compatible with my pc?

    -do all videocars with HDMI support 5.1 surround?

    -do you know such a card

    thx

  • is this good for sims 3?

  • CAN SOMEONE HELP ME, PLEASE..

    i have Intel 965 Chipset/ Intel GMA X3000

    My motherboards name: asus p5b-vm

    motherboard chipsatz: G965

    and i learned that GeForce 9500 GT is the best one to buy..is it compatible with mine? Thank you..

  • I'm not very good with computers, but does the RAM have anything to do with the graphics?

  • @MaTTRiiK

    The RAM in the computer, system memory?

    You want as much as possible and it to be as fast as possible for games, but quite a few games seem to work pretty well on only 2GB of fairly slow memory.

  • @Usul573 My computer is going to have 8gb RAM, if I were to max the graphics in a game, mine would run faster than someone else maxed on graphics with 2gb RAM? And give me more FPS?

  • @MaTTRiiK

    Sounds about right.

    8GB is a ton and is a good idea for a gaming PC.

    Of course, for FPS in games, the main thing a game wants is lots of graphics power.

    And don't forget CPU power either, some games don't need too much though.

  • can you suggest me a graphic card within $70 i just want to play games like gta 4 and ( gta 5 when launched ) at high resolution ..

  • @karan141141 if you dont mind graphics settings like medium and a good resolution get a 9600gt

  • is it a 1 gb graphic card ? If you don't mind can you just upload a picture of it

  • @karan141141 a 9500 gt might play high res with medium graphics but 9600 should do the job with high res and medium graphics

  • i want to know,will there be any issue with 9500gt having 350W PSU?(like under load)

  • @taimz87

    I doubt that, it's a 50w card, 75w cards can work on 300w PSUs.

  • How come mine has 1gb memory?

  • What is difference betweene gddr2 and gddr3 and what does that even mean? please help

  • @Blazzzerz

    Most video cards will have DDR2, DDR3, GDDR3, or GDDR5.

    There's a variety of memory speeds.

    DDR2 is a a type of memory, usually the slower type. Lots of fast memory is what you want.

    Each card is different.

    The highest end cards use GDDR5 now.

  • i've never heard someone talking that fast...

  • @nebby1956 split-second transitions of words....

  • @nebby1956 He has a very good processor.

  • thanks 

  • nop

    this crad have

    1 gb ddr2

  • i got this card..does the RAM matter during gaming or just the video ram?

  • @Ninchiboy Yes, Video Ram and RAM are entirly 2 different things that is needed. Also You have to consider your CPU

  • which is faster for gaming? 9500gt or gt 220?

  • @SpidRacerXX

    GT 220s are faster overall and have some newer features.

    But keep in mind there's lots of types of speed to consider and there's a variety of 9500GTs and GT 220s.

  • @SpidRacerXX for gt 220's price you should get a 4650 ddr3, gt 220 is barely faster than 9500gt. 4650 ddr3 is faster than both, but remember, GDDR3 or ddr3 version is required. 4650 ddr2 is slow as hell due to the slow memory.

  • 35 people use ATI card

  • @flyingsupersonic 35 people have something as fast as an 8800GT.

  • how well will this card run The Sims 3?

  • @supershaun91

    Just fine, people can get a 9500GT with DDR3 memory for about $58 on amazon, but still a GT 240 with DDR5 memory is much better and has newer features and can go for about $78.

  • What Graphics Card can Max Out Crysis?

  • @Superbeast1980

    If you mean 2560x1600 and maximum in game settings, I think the 5970 is the only one that has a chance.

  • @Superbeast1980 a gtx 480 will,and a 5970

  • man i remember watching this on my old computer....

    64mb video card

    1.6gzg processor

    256mb ram

    and really old motherboard.....

  • I'm building a PC so I planned on buying these things. Should anything be changed?

    Intel i7 Bloomfield 3.06 GHz Quad-Core

    XFX GeForce 9500GT 512mb

    Seagate Constellation 500GB Internal Memory

    ASRock X58 Extreme VGA

    Corsair XM53 4GB DDR3

    Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 Bit

    Cooler Master Intel Core i7 Fan

    I'm not too smart on Computers, so any help?

  • @ExredTV With an i7 in your comp, go for at least a Geforce 460 gtx

  • @ExredTV The 9500 gt its to low end for the i7 . The gts250 its more powerfull or a gtx460 , gtx 470 . Ati new series 6870 or a 5850 , 5770 . and the ram its dual channel the X58 MOBO needs triple channel memory 2x3 gb i recommend . ( soryy for my bad english ) .

  • was it OK if i overclock this card????

  • @redsucker23 as long as the temperatures stay acceptable

  • Would this be a good card for game like NTW, along with DOW II???? please inform me about this?? Also if not please give me a link to a good card with in a reasonable price range? Thanks

  • @trexim20 9500gt*****

  • I have a question. I just bought a new computer that has DDR3 SDRAM in it. But there is only a intel HD graphics videocard on the CPU installed. I want to buy a video card on my own, but everywhere i look, they say that the videocards have DDR2 Ram. Does this have anything to do with my RAM memory in my computer or with the slots used to put in the card?

  • @902396jv

    Nope, as long as you have a PCI-E X16 slot, and you probably do, cards will work, as long as they fit in the case and your power supply is enough.

    There's plenty of pretty compact and energy efficient cards.
