The GeForce GTX 980 Mobile was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on September 21st, 2015. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM204 graphics processor, in its N16E-GXX-A1 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GTX 980 Mobile. The GM204 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 398 mm² and 5,200 million transistors. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 980 Mobile, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1064 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1140 MHz, memory is running at 1753 MHz (7 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Mobile does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. 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.
