The GeForce 7300 GT Mac Edition was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on August 26th, 2006. Built on the 90 nm process, and based on the G73 graphics processor, in its G73-GT-N-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0c. Since GeForce 7300 GT Mac Edition does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The G73 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 125 mm² and 177 million transistors. It features 8 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units, and 8 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 GDDR3 memory with the GeForce 7300 GT Mac Edition, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 350 MHz, memory is running at 500 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Mac Edition does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 24 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI. GeForce 7300 GT Mac Edition is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface.
