The Quadro M3000 SE was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on October 2nd, 2016. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM204 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12. The GM204 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 398 mm² and 5,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 980, which uses the same GPU but has all 2048 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the Quadro M3000 SE to reach the product's target shader count. It features 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the Quadro M3000 SE, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 823 MHz, which can be boosted up to 924 MHz, memory is running at 1253 MHz (5 Gbps effective). Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA Quadro M3000 SE does not require any additional power connector, 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. Quadro M3000 SE is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface.
