NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M

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.

 

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.
