The GeForce GTX 480M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on May 25th, 2010. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF100 graphics processor, in its N11E-GTX-A3 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 GF100 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 529 mm² and 3,100 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 480 Core 512, which uses the same GPU but has all 512 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 480M to reach the product's target shader count. It features 352 shading units, 44 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 2,048 MB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 480M, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 425 MHz, memory is running at 600 MHz (2.4 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480M does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 100 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.

GF100 GPU Notes
| PureVideo HD: VP4 VDPAU: Feature Set C GF100 has 4 GPCs each capable of 8 pixels per clock. This limits complete GPU to 32 pixels per clock and because of that it can't feed all 48 ROPs when they all require data at the same time. Additional ROPs however can be used for MSAA (because it doesn't require additional data from rasterizers, while giving more work to ROPs.) |
