The GeForce GTX 780M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on May 11th, 2013. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GK104 graphics processor, in its N14E-GTX-A2 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_0, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles. The GK104 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 294 mm² and 3,540 million transistors. It features 1536 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 780M, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 771 MHz, which can be boosted up to 797 MHz, memory is running at 1250 MHz (5 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 122 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.
