NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M

hi, im considering the dell latitude d620
it can be customized with the 256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M TurboCache™ and i just want to know how good it is
is it integrated?
what kind of games will it play?

 

It's a dedicated 64mb GPU.
It's based on go 7300 but not designed for games.

 

what makes a graphics card desgined for games?
is it at least better than the GMA 950 in gaming?

 

I have this laptop. It is not 'designed for games' however, it does T and L shading that supports some of the less graphics intensive games.

I have personally played Ghost Recon (2000) at high detail 1440x990 but only at 16 bit and it plays well. I have Tiger Woods 2006 and NHL 2006 which play smoothly. I tried Ghost Recon on the Intel 950 GMA but the could not push it to that resolution without significant slowdown and flicker; it work best at WXGA but at lower detail levels.

Someelse on another board has tried some of the higher end games:

On the 'Game Advisor site' for Windows, it is recognized as a Geforce Go 7300. I will start a Poll for users of the D620 platform to see what games people have tried.

 

The 256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M TurboCache on the D620 has 64 MB physical memory, the remainder uses system memory. It is more than adequate for many older games, useable but not brilliant for modern games, but quite poor for many new games (designed with cutting-edge gpu's in mind), but it is a whole lot better than the integrated alternative, and well worth the small extra price.

 

ah thank you all

 

I know that the previous post was almost a year ago but I have a question. I bought the D620 with the NVIDIA QUADRO NVS 110M 256MB with Turbocache last March '07. If you look at the Dell documentation for the NVIDIA Quadro 110M 256MB it states that there is 128MB of video memory and will use 128MB of shared main memory if there is at least 512MB. I have had some problems and I'm on my third replacement motherboard and I noticed that when I go into the BIOS settings, only 64MB is listed. Before my latest motherboard was replaced I documented the vendor and type of video memory and indeed there is only 64MB of memory. It's bad enough that the sales material didn't state that the 256MB was actually only 128MB of video + 128MB shared main. I find it really fraudulent that there is only 64MB of video memory. That is definitely not what I paid for.
