The GeForce GT 520M was a mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched on January 5th, 2011. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GF119 graphics processor, in its N12P-GV-B-A1 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 GF119 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 79 mm² and 292 million transistors. It features 48 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,024 MB DDR3 memory with the GeForce GT 520M, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 740 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz.
Its power draw is rated at 12 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 GT 520M is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface.
