The Quadro NVS 510M was a professional mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on August 21st, 2006. Built on the 90 nm process, and based on the G71 graphics processor, the chip supports DirectX 9.0c. Since Quadro NVS 510M does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The G71 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 196 mm² and 278 million transistors. It features 24 pixel shaders and 8 vertex shaders, 24 texture mapping units, and 16 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 256 MB GDDR3 memory with the Quadro NVS 510M, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 450 MHz, memory is running at 600 MHz.
Its power draw is rated at 35 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. Quadro NVS 510M is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface.
