NVIDIA Quadro NVS 5100M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 130M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M

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 130M

► remove from comparison

Business graphics card based on the 8400M chip with special drivers and bios that are optimized for stability and business applications (like SAP). The gaming performance should be a bit below the regular 8400M series chips as the drivers are not optimized for games.

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M

► remove from comparison

The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M is a business entry-level graphics card for laptop. It is based on the GeForce 8500M GT consumer graphics card and designed for the business sector providing enhanced compatibility and stability. Regarding performance it should be comparable to a 8400M GT, but, might rate a little lower, because of the drivers that emphasize on stability.  Therefore, the NVS 140M provides only entry-level 3D performance.
