NVIDIA Launches The GeForce GTX 965M Mobility Chip - Features GM204 GPU With Half The Cores Of A GTX 980 Graphics Card

NVIDIA has officially launched their latest GeForce GTX 965M mobility chip powered by the Maxwell GM204 core compages. The GeForce GTX 965M which is powering a range of new gaming laptops showcases at CES 2022 such as the MSI GE62 and Aorus X5 notebook features half the CUDA Cores of a desktop class GeForce GTX 980 graphics card.

NVIDIA Announces GeForce GTX 965M GM204 Powered Mobility Chip

NVIDIA has previously launched two Maxwell based GeForce 900 mobility chips which include the GeForce GTX 980M and GeForce GTX 970M. While none of these fries feature the total fledge GM204 configuration like the GTX 980 to conserve power on the mobility products, they do come with similar level of desktop class features and performance. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M which is another GM204 powered graphics chip also comes with technologies such as GPU Boost ii.0, PhysX, Optimus 2.0, Battery Boost, VXGI, MFAA, 4K DSR, bandwidth conservative color compression and DirectX eleven.2/12 API support.

On the specifications front, we are looking at a significantly cut down GM204 chip. The reason this scrap is part of the GM204 SKUs is because the die shot being shown by NVIDIA at their GeForce website is larger than the GM206 die shot nosotros got to meet yesterday, hence the GM206's mobility chip will launch as the GeForce GTX 960 and GTX 950M quondam this year. Moving forward, we are looking at 1024 cores that are one-half of what we go on the GeForce GTX 980 (2048 CUDA Cores). With just 8 SMM units on lath the GM204 configuration, their are 32 ROPs and 64 TMUs included on the GeForce GTX 965M as per arranged inside the GM204'due south graphics processing cluster. The scrap is clocked at 944 MHz + Boost clock.

The retentivity includes 2-4 GB GDDR5 VRAM configurations across products that characteristic the GeForce GTX 965M fleck. However due to its cut down nature, the chip comes with a 128-fleck memory bus which is lower compared to each flake that came before it. The GTX 980M comes with a 256-bit memory charabanc while the GTX 970M comes with a 192-fleck memory jitney. The upcoming GeForce GTX 960 which is going to characteristic the GM206 chip comes with a 128-bit bus likewise. As for clock speeds, the retentiveness is clocked at 2500 MHz and pumps 80 GB/south bandwidth. Additionally, the chip comes with 4K eDP 1.ii Back up and H.264 video controller.
