NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 300M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100M

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M

► remove from comparison NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M

It is based on the GeForce Go 7400 with professional certified graphics drivers for applications like CAD, Rendering, 3D modelling, etc. The usability for games is limited.

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 300M

► remove from comparison NVIDIA Quadro NVS 300M

The NVIDIA GeForce Go 300M business graphic card based on the GeForce Go 7600 for laptops and is optimized (by drivers and Bios) for business tasks. Stability and reliability are focussed. The performance ought to be similar (slightly below) the GeForce Go 7600.

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100M

► remove from comparison

The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100 is a business graphics card for laptops which is most likely based on the same core as the GeForce GT 330m / Quadro FX 880M. The NVS series is optimized for business applications and stability and may therefore perform a bit worse in games due to the special drivers and BIOS optimizations.

As the GT 330M, the NVS5100 should support PureVideo HD (VP4?) to accelerate HD videos and CUDA / DirectX Compute to use the render cores for other applications.
