GeForce G105M: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce G105M sales 16 July 2009. This is a laptop graphics card based on a Tesla 2.0 architecture and made with 40 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. Up to 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 500 (DDR2)/700 (GDDR3) MHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8 (DDR2)/11 (GDDR3).
Compatibility-wise, this is a graphics card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 14 Watt.
