The GeForce 9600M GT was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on June 4th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the G96C graphics processor, in its NB9P-GS variant, the chip supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The G96C graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 121 mm² and 314 million transistors. It features 32 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the GeForce 9600M GT, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 500 MHz, memory is running at 792 MHz.
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 23 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device.
