P106M: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started P106M sales 23 January 2019. This is a laptop graphics card based on a Pascal architecture and made with 16 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamers. 4 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6 GB/s are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 96.13 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Power consumption is at 75 Watt.

Size and compatibility
Information on P106M'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 | PCIe 3.0 x16 | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on P106M: 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 | GDDR5 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 4 GB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 128 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 6 GB/s | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 96.13 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on P106M. 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 support
APIs supported by P106M, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 12 (12_1) | |
| Shader Model | 6.4 | |
| OpenGL | 4.6 | |
| OpenCL | 1.2 | |
| Vulkan | 1.2 | |
| CUDA | 6.1 |
