Benchmarks and gaming performance of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce GTX 780M were revealed through a review which was later removed but thanks to Videocardz, much of the data is preserved in the form of screenshots. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M which is the true successor to the GeForce GTX 680M launches this month with high performance notebooks.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M Gaming Performance Unveiled

Starting with the specifications, the GeForce GTX 780M comes with a fully enabled GK104 core featuring 1536 Cuda cores and 32 ROPS which is exactly what we get in the desktop version of the GeForce GTX 680. The GTX 680M on the other hand featured 1344 cores with low clock speeds. The GeForce GTX 780M also comes with lower clock frequencies compared to the desktop version at 771 MHz base and 797 MHz boost clock while the 4 GB GDDR5 memory operates at 1250 MHz or 5 GHz effective clock speed. The GeForce GTX 780M supports DX 11.1, NVIDIA PhysX, NVIDIA GPU Boost, NVIDIA 3D Steroscopic and DirectCompute 5.0 technologies. The GPU churns out an impressive 160 GB/s bandwidth which is pretty close to the 192 GB/s on the desktop GTX 680.
