Perhaps the best graphics card for "budget" gaming!

Pros

  • Relatively good performance for its price.
  • Overclocking potential (you might be able to overclock a dual-fan version up to the level of 1050 if you're lucky!)

Cons

  • Inability to play triple A projects with adequate fps

Performance

GPU clock speed

1026 MHz

600 MHz

The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
GPU turbo

1190 MHz

1500 MHz

When the GPU is running below its limitations, it can boost to a higher clock speed in order to give increased performance.
pixel rate

39.3 GPixel/s

9.6 GPixel/s

The number of pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
floating-point performance

1.89 TFLOPS

0.34 TFLOPS

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
texture rate

58.94 GTexels/s

33.6 GTexels/s

The number of textured pixels that can be rendered to the screen every second.
GPU memory speed

1653 MHz

900 MHz

The memory clock speed is one aspect that determines the memory bandwidth.
Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image.
TMUs take textures and map them to the geometry of a 3D scene. More TMUs will typically mean that texture information is processed faster.
The ROPs are responsible for some of the final steps of the rendering process, writing the final pixel data to memory and carrying out other tasks such as anti-aliasing to improve the look of graphics.

Memory

effective memory speed

6612 MHz

1800 MHz

The effective memory clock speed is calculated from the size and data rate of the memory. Higher clock speeds can give increased performance in games and other apps.
maximum memory bandwidth

105.8 GB/s

57.6 GB/s

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.
VRAM

2GB

0.5GB

VRAM (video RAM) is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
GDDR version

GDDR5

GDDR3

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
memory bus width

128-bit

256-bit

A wider bus width means that it can carry more data per cycle. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card.
Supports ECC memory
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
Error-correcting code memory can detect and correct data corruption. It is used when is it essential to avoid corruption, such as scientific computing or when running a server.

Features

DirectX version

DirectX 12

DirectX 11

DirectX is used in video games, with newer versions supporting better graphics and features. The latest version is DirectX 12 Ultimate, which includes support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, and variable rate shading (VRS).
OpenGL is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
Some apps use OpenCL to apply the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) for non-graphical computing. Newer versions introduce more functionality and better performance.
Supports multi-display technology
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
The graphics card supports multi-display technology. This allows you to configure multiple monitors in order to create a more immersive gaming experience, such as having a wider field of view.
load GPU temperature

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT)

A lower load temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better.
supports ray tracing
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
Supports 3D
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
Allows you to view in 3D (if you have a 3D display and glasses).
supports DLSS
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technology powered by AI. It allows the graphics card to render games at a lower resolution and upscale them to a higher resolution with near-native visual quality and increased performance. DLSS is only available on select games.
AMD SAM / Intel Resizable BAR

Allows you to connect to a display using mini-DisplayPort.

General info

The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
number of transistors

2940 million

754 million

A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance.
warranty period

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT)

When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
Has air-water cooling
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950
Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT
The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. This allows it to be overclocked more, increasing performance.
width

181 mm

229 mm

The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
height

119 mm

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT)

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.

Miscellaneous

DirectX is used in games, with newer versions supporting better graphics.
