The GeForce FX 5900 XT was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in May 2003. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the NV35 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX 5900 XT does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV35 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 207 mm² and 135 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 3 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has paired 128 MB DDR memory with the GeForce FX 5900 XT, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 400 MHz, memory is running at 350 MHz.

Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 XT draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw rated at 35 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce FX 5900 XT is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
