NVS 5100M: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started NVS 5100M sales 7 January 2010. This is a Tesla 2.0 architecture notebook card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.6 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via MXM-A (3.0) interface. Power consumption is at 35 Watt.

Form factor & compatibility

Information on NVS 5100M's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.

Interface

MXM-A (3.0)

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of memory installed on NVS 5100M: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	GDDR3
Maximum RAM amount	1 GB	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	128 Bit	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	1600 MHz	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)
Memory bandwidth	25.6 GB/s	of 3276 (Aldebaran)

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on NVS 5100M. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

No outputs

API compatibility

APIs supported by NVS 5100M, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	11.1 (10_1)
Shader Model	4.1
OpenGL	3.3	of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile)
OpenCL	1.1
Vulkan	N/A
CUDA	1.2
