Many games of 2014/2015 can be played fluently in FullHD resolution and high detail settings. Overall, the 960M is almost 10 percent faster and similar to the desktop GTX 750 Ti. GM107 supports DirectX 12 with feature level 11_0 only.Īlthough the GTX 960M has the same memory bandwidth as the previous GTX 860M, its higher core clock leads to a slightly better performance. The increased size can handle some of the memory traffic to allow for a relatively narrow memory interface without significantly reducing the performance. Smaller Streaming Multiprocessors (SMM) with only 128 ALUs (Kepler: 192) and an optimized scheduler should lead to better utilization of the shaders. Nvidia promises that a Maxwell SMM with 128 ALUs can offer 90 percent of the performance of a Kepler SMX with 192 ALUs. GM107 features 5 SMMs and thus 640 shader cores, 40 TMUs and 16 ROPs (128-bit interface).Īnother optimization is the massively enlarged L2 cache (GM107: 2 MB). The GTX 960M offers 640 shader units clocked at 1097 - 1202 MHz (Boost) as well as fast GDDR5 memory (128 bit, 5000 MHz effective, 80 GB/s).Ĭompared to the previous and technically very similar GTX 860M, the GTX 960M is clocked slightly higher.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M is an upper mid-range, DirectX 11-compatible graphics card for laptops unveiled in March 2015. It is based on Nvidia's Maxwell architecture (GM107 chip) and manufactured in 28 nm. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M ► remove from comparison

used by AMD and also for the professional GA100 Ampere chip). The GA104 chip is manufactured by Samsung in 8nm (8N), which is not quite able to keep up with the 7nm node at TSMC (e.g. The Ampere chips also include an improved 5th generation video encoder (NVENC for H.264 and H.265) and a 7th generation decoder (for various formats now including AV1).

The RTX 3070 mobile series uses 5,120 of the 6,144 cores. The raytracing and tensor cores on the chip were also improved according to Nvidia. With Turing all shaders could still execute FP32 or INT32 instructions. The RTX 3070 however wont use all ALUs on the chip. The GA104 chip offers 6,144 FP32 ALUs of which half can also execute INT32 instructions (i.e. The similar named RTX 3070 desktop card is significantly faster. On average it should be similar to the old RTX 2080 Super Mobile and therefore best suited for QHD - 4k gaming. The performance depends on the TGP setting and cooling of the laptop. There is no more Max-Q variant (formerly used for the low power variants) but every OEM can choose to implement Max-Q technologies (Dynamic Boost, Whispermode). The GPU supports eDP 1.4b to connect the internal monitor. As package the notebook graphic card uses GB5-256 and the chip size is 40x40mm. It supports PCIe 4.0 and will be available in two different variants from 80 to 125 Watt (TGP).
It is based on the GA104-770-A1 Ampere chip and offers 8 GB GDDR6 graphics memory with a 256 Bit memory bus.
The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (for laptops, GN20-E5, Max-P, ID 249c / 249d) is the second fastest Ampere graphics card for notebooks in early 2021.
