• 55nm Process
  Combing advanced 55nm chip process from TSMC and brand new G96 rendering architecture
  from NVIDIA, SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT Low Profile PCI and GeForce 9500 GT Low Profile PCI
  Graphics Cards can provide higher working speed and 3D horsepower for HTPC enthusiasts, at
  same time, it keeps lower power consumption, to achieve reduction of carbon emission and energy
  efficiency.

• Low Profile Design
  Consummately designed low profile, the PCB height of SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT Low Profile
  PCI and GeForce 9500 GT Low Profile PCI Graphics Cards are 6cm,only half the height of
  ordinary Graphic Cards with full profile design, which makes SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT Low
  Profile PCI and GeForce 9500 GT Low Profile PCI Graphics Cards to be the best partners for
  HTPC only with PCI slots. HTPC enthusiasts don’t need to worry about the inconvenience caused
  by narrow space HTPC chassis and full profile designed graphics cards. With low profile design,
  SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT Low Profile PCI and GeForce 9500 GT Low Profile PCI Graphics
  Cards not only can easily meet the HD video playback and DX10 gaming demand from HTPC
  users, but also can easily satisfy the requirements from SSF, mini-chassis and industry PCs which
  demand compact and practical graphic cards.

• PCI Bus Design
  Now there are many computer users are still using motherboards without AGP or PCI Express
  graphics slot, and industrial control computers also need cost-effective PCI graphics cards.
  SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT Low Profile PCI and GeForce 9500 GT Low Profile PCI Graphics
  Cards is very suitable for some industries based applications, such as medical, industrial control
  and general information dissemination, management. In addition, SPARKLE GeForce 9400 GT
  Low Profile PCI and GeForce 9500 GT Low Profile PCI Graphics Cards is also the best choice for
  graphic design, mass information processing and monitoring, financial, industrial control, logistics
  management, video non-linear editing, and many other applications which need 2D performance.
  PCI bandwidth is not the bottleneck for these applications.
