The '''GeForce 9 series''' (also known as the '''GeForce 9000 series''') is the ninth generation of Nvidia's GeForce line of graphics processing units, the first of which was released on February 21, 2008. The products are based on an updated Tesla microarchitecture, adding PCI Express 2.0 support, improved color and z-compression, and built on a 65 nm process, later using 55 nm process to reduce power consumption and die size (GeForce 8 G8x GPUs only supported PCIe 1.1 and were built on 90 nm process or 80 nm process).

=== GeForce 9600 GS ===
thumb|GeForce 9600GS from an HP computer; notice the SLI connector. Unlike the 9600GT, it doesn't require an external PCI-Express power supply.
The GeForce 9600GS is a Hewlett Packard OEM card. It is based on a G94a core clocked at 500 MHz. It features 768 MB of DDR2 memory on a 192-bit bus.
=== GeForce 9600 GSO === The GeForce 9600 GSO was essentially a renamed 8800 GS. This tactic has been seen before in products such as the GeForce 7900 GTO to clear unsold stock when it is made obsolete by the next generation. Just like the 8800 GS, the 9600 GSO features 96 stream processors, a 550 MHz core clock with shaders clocked at 1,375 MHz, and either 384 or 768 MB of memory clocked at 800 MHz on a 192-bit memory bus. Some manufacturers have mistakenly listed some of their 768 MB models that have 96 stream processors as being based on the G94 chip, rather than the G92.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600_gso_us.html | title=GeForce 9600 GSO|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211012141if_/http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600_gso_us.html|archive-date=2008-12-11}}</ref>
=== GeForce 9600 GSO 512 === After clearing the old 8800 GS stock, Nvidia revised the specification with a new core, and 512 MB of memory clocked at 900 MHz on a 256-bit bus.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600_gso_512_us.html | title=GeForce 9600 GSO 512|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081217072116if_/http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9600_gso_512_us.html|archive-date=2008-12-17}}</ref> For these cards, the number of stream processors is halved to 48, with the core frequency increased to 650 MHz and the shader frequency increased to 1625 MHz. Some of these cards have 1024 megabytes of memory while still being a 512 model. At least one reviewer considered the revised version inferior in performance to the old version.<ref>{{Cite web |title=GeForce 8800 GS vs GeForce 9600 GSO ASUS 512 – Hardware Compare: Graphics Cards, CPU & SSD Comparison |url=https://www.hwcompare.com/4011/geforce-8800-gs-vs-geforce-9600-gso-asus-512/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260522234301/https://www.hwcompare.com/4011/geforce-8800-gs-vs-geforce-9600-gso-asus-512/ |archive-date=2026-05-22 |access-date=2026-05-22 |website=www.hwcompare.com}}</ref>
