The GeForce 9700M GTS was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on July 29th, 2008. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G94 graphics processor, in its NB9E-GS 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 G94 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 240 mm² and 505 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce 9600 GT Green Edition, which uses the same GPU but has all 64 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce 9700M GTS to reach the product's target shader count. It features 48 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the GeForce 9700M GTS, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 530 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz.
Its power draw is rated at 60 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 9700M GTS is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface.
