The Quadro FX Go540 was a professional mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on August 9th, 2004. Built on the 110 nm process, and based on the NV43 graphics processor, in its QDFX-GO540-N-A4 variant, the chip supports DirectX 9.0c. Since Quadro FX Go540 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV43 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 154 mm² and 146 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 3 vertex shaders, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has paired 128 MB DDR memory with the Quadro FX Go540, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 300 MHz, memory is running at 225 MHz.
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA Quadro FX Go540 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 25 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.
