The Quadro NVS 120M was a professional mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on June 1st, 2006. Built on the 90 nm process, and based on the G72B graphics processor, the chip supports DirectX 9.0c. Since Quadro NVS 120M does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The G72B graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 81 mm² and 112 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 3 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units, and 2 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 512 MB DDR2 memory with the Quadro NVS 120M, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 450 MHz, memory is running at 700 MHz.
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 10 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.
