GeForce 720M: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce 720M sales 1 April 2013. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Fermi 2.0 architecture and made with 28 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 2 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.6 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 12.8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 33 Watt.
