384MB GeForce 9600 GSO for PCIe 2.0 systems

The ASUS EN9600GSO/HTDP/384M is a DirectX 10 graphics card built around the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO GPU. It connects via a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot and targets users upgrading older desktops or building period-correct retro rigs. The card delivers 96 CUDA cores clocked at 1375 MHz with a 550 MHz core clock.

Dual DVI and HDTV output expand display options

Two DVI ports drive digital monitors up to 2560 x 1600 resolution. An integrated HDTV and S-Video output adds analogue connectivity for legacy displays or TV recording setups. The 400 MHz RAMDAC supports the analogue signals without additional adapters.

192-bit DDR3 memory bus defines bandwidth

The 384MB frame buffer runs on a 192-bit interface at an effective 1600 MHz clock. This memory subsystem determines texture throughput and resolution scaling in DirectX 10 titles. SLI Ready certification allows pairing a second identical card for multi-GPU scaling.

Questions about this item

What cooling maintenance does the EN9600GSO/HTDP/384M need over time?

The single-slot cooler uses a fan that should be dusted periodically; no user-replaceable thermal pads or liquid components are present.

Which limit appears first when the 96 CUDA cores run at 1375 MHz for long periods?

The 192-bit DDR3 memory subsystem at 1600 MHz effective bandwidth becomes the bottleneck before the 550 MHz core clock hits thermal limits.

How much heat and noise does the card produce when left running all day?

The 550 MHz GPU and 384 MB DDR3 draw modest power through the PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, so the compact fan stays quiet and exhaust heat remains low inside the case.
