The GeForce GTX 950M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on March 13th, 2015. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM107 graphics processor, in its N16P-GT 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 GM107 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 148 mm² and 1,870 million transistors. It features 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB DDR3 memory with the GeForce GTX 950M, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 993 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1124 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz.
Its power draw is rated at 75 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 950M is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface.
