The GeForce FX Go5600 was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on March 1st, 2003. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the NV31 graphics processor, in its NV31 Go5600 variant, the chip supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX Go5600 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV31 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 121 mm² and 80 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 2 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units, and 4 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 128 MB DDR memory with the GeForce FX Go5600, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 275 MHz, memory is running at 250 MHz.
Its power draw is not exactly known. 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 FX Go5600 is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
