The GeForce GT 730A was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on July 1st, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GK208 graphics processor, in its GT 730M variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GK208 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 87 mm² and 1,020 million transistors. It features 384 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,024 MB DDR3 memory with the GeForce GT 730A, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 719 MHz, which can be boosted up to 758 MHz, memory is running at 1001 MHz. Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 730A does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 33 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. GeForce GT 730A is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface.
