GeForce 9600 GSO (G94)
After the release of the Radeon HD 4830, smelling something fried, nVidia began active gestures and introduced an updated chip for the popular GeForce 9600GSO family. Instead of the usual G92, the G94 is now used as the GPU. After the transition to the new version, the chip has significantly lost weight - instead of 96 stream processors, the video card now has only 48 at its disposal. But the memory bus has been expanded from 192 bits to 256. Cheaper on the face. Moreover, not 3848MB of on-board DDR3 was installed on the new video cards, but 512MB.
Of course, after such a cut, the performance of the video card was very, very significant.
