Overview

GeForce 505 OEM is an NVIDIA GPU entry in the GeForce 500 Series family. It is listed with Tesla 2.0 architecture and GT216 silicon.

Key reference data: 24 CUDA cores/shaders, 1 GB DDR3 memory, 128-bit memory bus, 25 W board power class.

Board-partner cards can vary in cooler, PCB, display outputs, clocks, BIOS behavior, and power connector layout.

Why It Mattered

GeForce 505 OEM is an OEM-focused GeForce 500 Series variant from the Tesla 2.0 generation around 2013. These cards often differ from retail models in clocks, cooler, power limits, outputs, and firmware, which is why exact identification matters for upgrades, repairs, and used-system checks.

Collector Notes

For archival use, record the OEM system model, board part number, VBIOS, cooler, slot width, memory chips, power connectors, display outputs, bracket type, and any factory power or clock limits.

Used-Market Caution

Before buying used, confirm the card fits the target case and PSU, then check the exact OEM part number, bracket, power connector, outputs, VBIOS, thermal paste and fan condition, and whether retail drivers support the device ID cleanly.

Known Issues
