The GeForce GTX 280M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on March 3rd, 2009. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G92 graphics processor, in its N10E-GTX variant, the chip supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The G92 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 324 mm² and 754 million transistors. It features 128 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,024 MB GDDR3 memory with the GeForce GTX 280M, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 585 MHz, memory is running at 950 MHz.
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M 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. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device.
