GeForce 9500 GT 1GB DDR2 Review

GeForce 9500 GT 1GB DDR2 is a middle-class GPU part of the 9000 Series released by NVIDIA in 2008-2009.
It's a special variant equipped with 1GB of DDR2 memory type. However, and unlike the other DDR2 versions, the memory clock is only set to 333MHz (instead of 500MHz) and it's paired with a 64 bits bus width (instead of 128 bits). Therefore, the Memory Bandwidth is cut in less than half, giving GeForce 9500 GT 1GB DDR2 troubles with AA techniques.
The most demanding games might require very reduced settings and still not run fluently. Modern demanding games like Crysis 2 and Skyrim V might run fluently at low settings.
