The NVS 5200M was a professional mobile graphics chip by NVIDIA, launched in June 2012. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GF117 graphics processor, in its N13M-NS1 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12.0. The GF117 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 116 mm² and 585 million transistors. It features 96 shading units, 16 texture mapping units and 4 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,024 MB DDR3 memory with the NVS 5200M, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 625 MHz, memory is running at 900 MHz. Being a mxm module card, its power draw is rated at 25 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.
