    Hey everyone,

    I know these are not gaming cards - but I was hoping those here with knowledge could help me understand any potential performace differences that would exist in these cards.

    What is the difference between DDR3 and DDR5 ? in terms of real world performance?

    My primary needs are Autocad (mostly 2D), photoshop, & vectorworks.

    I have not needed workstation level graphics (or bulk!) in the past - so, I think decent mid/low range solutions should continue to do the trick. These cards are showing up in the 14" Latitudes, Vostros, & XPS units I am currently shopping.

    can anyone compare the following video cards for me?:

    NVS 5200m 1GB DDR5
    GT 630m DDR3
    GT 630m DDR5


    Thank you!
