I just got my GeForce 9500GT . I checked and my GPU can support Cuda.. but which version should i pick? my only intention of installing cuda is because i heard that it optimizes my GPU’s performance, is it true?
btw, here is the link to the cuda donwload site http://developer.nvidia.com/object/… XP, Windows Vista and Windows7
please help >.<
The 9500GT is a very low end card plus it’s approx 3 yrs old. I don’t know what your plans are for it, but you could have & should have selected a better card if decent performance is what you’re after, especially gaming performance.

a few things happened, and i ended up with this old card >.<

Developer Drivers for WinVista and Win7 (263.06)
Notebook Developer Drivers for WinXP (260.99)
Notebook Developer Drivers for WinVista and Win7 (260.99)
CUDA Toolkit
C/C++ compiler
Visual Profiler
GPU-accelerated BLAS library
GPU-accelerated FFT library
GPU-accelerated Sparse Matrix library
GPU-accelerated RNG library
Additional tools and documentatio
CUDA Toolkit Build Rules Patch for Windows
NVIDIA Performance Primitives (NPP) library
CULA: GPU-accelerated LAPACK libraries
NVIDIA Parallel Nsight for Visual Studio
CUDA Fortran from PGI
GPU Computing SDK code samples
NVIDIA OpenCL Extensions
..so which should i install if i am only looking forward to the optomized performance? or there was never was one to begin with?
“which version of cuda i should install?”
I don’t know what you think you’re going to accomplish. Are you hoping for better gaming performance? Or do you work for a research lab? Which CUDA optimized programs will you be running?
