The GeForce GTX 980M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on October 7th, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM204 graphics processor, in its N16E-GX-A1 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GTX 980M. The GM204 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 398 mm² and 5,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 980, which uses the same GPU but has all 2048 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 980M to reach the product's target shader count. It features 1536 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 980M, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1038 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1127 MHz, memory is running at 1253 MHz (5 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. 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.
