The GeForce MX450 12W is a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on August 15th, 2020. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU117S graphics processor, in its N18S-LP variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce MX450 12W. The TU117S graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 200 mm² and 4,700 million transistors. It features 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR6 memory with the GeForce MX450 12W, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 720 MHz, which can be boosted up to 930 MHz, memory is running at 1250 MHz (10 Gbps effective). Its power draw is rated at 12 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 MX450 12W is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x4 interface.
