Die area is drawn against the largest recorded die in the catalog. Shader dots use a labeled, card-specific ratio so both early and modern GPUs remain legible.

324 mm² die · 96 shadersDie area drawn to scale against the catalog maximum of 1,540 square millimeters. Each dot = 1 shader.324 mm² die · 96 shadersEach dot = 1 shaderDashed frame = largest catalog die (1,540 mm²)

Within its series, the GeForce 9600 GTX ranks 52nd of 290 for memory capacity. Its 140 W TDP is above the 75 W PCIe slot-power ceiling.
