The GeForce 9400M was a mobile integrated graphics solution by NVIDIA, launched on October 15th, 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the C79 graphics processor, in its MCP79MX variant, the device 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. It features 16 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 580 MHz.
Its power draw is rated at 12 W maximum. GeForce 9400M is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface.
