The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 130M GPU core specifications define its raw processing power for graphics and compute workloads. Shading units (also called CUDA cores, stream processors, or execution units depending on manufacturer) handle the parallel calculations required for rendering. TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) process texture data, while ROPs (Render Output Units) handle final pixel output. Higher shader counts generally translate to better GPU benchmark performance, especially in demanding games and 3D applications.
Quadro NVS 130M Clock Speeds
GPU and memory frequencies
Clock speeds directly impact the Quadro NVS 130M's performance in GPU benchmarks and real-world gaming. The base clock represents the minimum guaranteed frequency, while the boost clock indicates peak performance under optimal thermal conditions. Memory clock speed affects texture loading and frame buffer operations. The Quadro NVS 130M by NVIDIA dynamically adjusts frequencies based on workload, temperature, and power limits to maximize performance while maintaining stability.
NVIDIA's Quadro NVS 130M Memory
VRAM capacity and bandwidth
VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory for storing textures, frame buffers, and shader data. The Quadro NVS 130M's memory capacity determines how well it handles high-resolution textures and multiple displays. Memory bandwidth, measured in GB/s, affects how quickly data moves between the GPU and VRAM. Higher bandwidth improves performance in memory-intensive scenarios like 4K gaming. The memory bus width and type (GDDR6, GDDR6X, HBM) significantly influence overall GPU benchmark scores.

About NVIDIA Quadro NVS 130M
The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 130M is an end-of-life NVS Mobile GPU built by NVIDIA around the G86S chip. It uses the Tesla architecture and is fabricated by TSMC on an 80 nm process. The die contains 210 million transistors, measures 127 mm², and has a transistor density of 1.7M/mm². The database does not list a series, codename, base clock, boost clock, or game clock; the only clock recorded is the memory clock, 700 MHz, shown as 1400 Mbps effective. The GPU pairs 256 MB DDR2 on a 64-bit bus with 11.20 GB/s of bandwidth. Its resource counts are 8 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. Pixel rate is 1.600 GPixel/s, texture rate is 3.200 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 12.80 GFLOPS. The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16. Display outputs are listed as “Portable Device Dependent.” Release date is 2007-05-08. The benchmarks array is empty, the average benchmark score is 0, and percentileVsAllGpus is 50.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals field is empty, so this page has no named rival, no rival score, and no deltaPct values to report. The only comparative metric in the fact pack is percentileVsAllGpus: 50, which places the NVS 130M at the midpoint of the database’s GPU distribution. That midpoint position, however, is not supported by measured benchmark data: avgBenchmarkScore is 0 and the benchmarks array contains no entries. As a result, the percentile should be read as a database placement, not as a performance ranking.
The predecessor and successor fields are also empty, so there is no adjacent product from the same NVS Mobile generation to anchor it. In the absence of rival comparisons, the most informative internal anchors are the listed rendering figures: 1.600 GPixel/s pixel rate, 3.200 GTexel/s texture rate, 12.80 GFLOPS FP32, and 11.20 GB/s memory bandwidth. These are the numbers against which any workload would need to be judged.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The fact pack reports no RT cores and no tensor cores. Both fields are null, meaning dedicated ray tracing and tensor acceleration resources are not recorded for this GPU. For ray-traced workloads, the database therefore provides no hardware acceleration count to cite.
The feature set is instead defined by the API entries: DirectX 11.1 (10_0) and OpenGL 3.3. The DirectX entry lists a feature level of 10_0 alongside the 11.1 API version, which is a meaningful distinction: the API version is newer than the feature level. No Vulkan version is listed. The absence of a Vulkan entry further narrows the API story to the DirectX and OpenGL path.
The GPU has 256 MB of DDR2 on a 64-bit bus, which limits the practical reach of those APIs: memory bandwidth of 11.20 GB/s is the ceiling for texture and framebuffer access. The rendering resources are 8 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. These feed a pixel rate of 1.600 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 3.200 GTexel/s. No FP16 throughput is listed, so the data does not quantify half-precision compute.
Who Should Consider It
The database does not provide a measured performance score: average benchmark score is 0, and there are no entries in the benchmarks array. That means no resolution-specific or settings-specific recommendation can be validated by benchmark results. The relevant quantitative anchors are the memory and rendering figures.
256 MB of DDR2 on a 64-bit bus, at 11.20 GB/s, is a small memory pool. A system using this GPU should expect memory capacity and bandwidth to constrain high-resolution or high-texture workloads. The 1.600 GPixel/s pixel rate and 3.200 GTexel/s texture rate are the listed throughput limits; 4 ROPs and 8 TMUs are the corresponding fixed-function resources. With 8 shading units and 12.80 GFLOPS of FP32, the shader workload capacity is modest.
Users who need no more than a portable-device display solution can consider this part because its display output is “Portable Device Dependent” and its TDP is 10 W. The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16. The API list, DirectX 11.1 (10_0), OpenGL 3.3, and no Vulkan, defines the usable software surface. Applications built around those APIs are the only ones covered by the record. The 50th percentile database placement does not change that; without real benchmark samples, the percentile cannot be translated into frame-rate expectations. The data suggests a low-power, small-memory GPU aimed at portable professional use, not a high-resolution gaming or compute part.
Power and Cooling
Power data in the fact pack is limited but clear. The TDP is 10 W. The power connector field is “None,” so the board does not require auxiliary power connectors. No PSU wattage recommendation is listed in the suggestedPsu field. For a 10 W part with no power connectors, the database does not specify a power supply class.
The bus interface is PCIe 2.0 x16, which is the only electrical interface listed. No slot width is recorded, and no physical dimensions are provided, so the cooling envelope cannot be quantified from the database. The “Portable Device Dependent” display output field implies that power and cooling are handled by the host portable device rather than by a standalone card.
With a 10 W TDP, the thermal load is modest, but the database offers no cooler height, length, or slot width to support a specific cooler recommendation. The absence of a suggested PSU reinforces that this is not positioned as a high-power discrete card. For installation planning, the relevant numbers are the 10 W TDP, the “None” power connector entry, and the PCIe 2.0 x16 interface; everything else is dependent on the portable system.
