The GeForce GTX 460M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on September 3rd, 2010. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF106 graphics processor, in its N11E-GS-A1 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 GF106 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 238 mm² and 1,170 million transistors. It features 192 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,536 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 460M, which are connected using a 192-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 675 MHz, memory is running at 625 MHz (2.5 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 50 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 GTX 460M is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface.
