NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M

do you know how the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M with 128MB DDR SDRAM performs? what video card is comparable to it?

 

It's a 'business graphics solution' according to Nvidia. There isn't much information avalialbe on it. All Nvidia's site says is that it is a card for business machines.

It will probably be terrible for 3D gaming.

 

all quadro gpu cards are for 3d rendering. you can play games on it, but for the price of it you are often better off getting a gaming gpu. if it is a laptop card, buy something else..it will not be that great at gaming...

hope this helps,

Apparently, it's based on the G72 chip, i.e. GeForce 7300-7400.

 

ANy idea of its 3D Mark score? Or how it would fare in comparison to, say, the Geforce Go 7400? Coz I'm considering either the Toshiba Tecra M5 (which has the Quadro) or the Vaio FE (which has the Geforce Go 7400).

 

I haven't even seen any benchmarks on it, so I can't say.

If it helps, the X200M is basically an integrated version of the X300, and is 1/3 less powerful than the X300. Of course, that might not apply to Nvidia.

The NVS 110M will be slower than the Go7300/Go7400 that it is based off of as dr. st said.

i would suggest getting a GPU which is for gaming, and NOT for rendering..they are not designed to put out FPS at high rates ..(they do put out a high FPS, but at a slower rate...which in turn will make it slower then the gaming counterpart..if that makes sense to you)

pb,out.

 

No, it doesn't. If you could explain what it means "high frames per second at a slower rate", it would be better.

 

What do you mean by "rendering" anyway? I'm into 3D graphic design, and when I click render to render out the image/animation, the application i use (Cinema 4D) bypasses the GPU altogether and utilizes the CPU - I'm actually using a 16 MB SiS 300 in my desktop and its working out fine...

When I design the stuff (you know- like in wireframe mode etc) then I have the option of using either the GPU or CPU...the workplace display would basically look like a low quality game with low rez textures and some shading, and its here that a good GPU could help me...i thought any good gaming card would speed up the display frame rate when i navigate around etc...

So any idea how the Quadro assists rendering? Coz I don't get it...

 

the way i understand it, is that gaming GPUs are designed to put out a high FPS, as fast as possible, to properly show everything on the screen at once. a workstation card CAN put out a high FPS, but it doesnt need to do it as fast.

also, see these links: the CGS link has benchmarks between the 7800gtx and a quadro 4500.

Oh ok, now I kinda understand...them quadro cards use OpenGL and specific drivers certified and tested by the CAD application developers, and have certain features that enhance the CAD development process...something like that...(I just got a vague idea of it all)...thanks pbcustom98!

I got the answer to what I needed to know as well - that the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M is meant for 2D graphics - "General Purpose Business and Corporate Financial Trading" (Nvidia website)...multiple displays and so on...useless for my purposes really...

Its the Quadro FX series that is made for CAD stuff...BUT - going by the CGSociety group test link above, Cinebench (Cinema 4D's benchmarking tool) doesn't appear to make use of Quadro specific features, and works just as well, if not better, with GeForce cards...so I don't need it ...Great, thats all I needed to know...Vaio FE or SZ, here I come! ...Dang, which one shud i get?

 

glad i could help.

What on earth do you mean by high FPS but not as fast. FPS means frames per second. If you put out 50 frames per second, there is no way to do it "slow" or "fast". Either you do or you don't.

 

^^Agreed...it doesn't make sense!

 

it can render high amounts of frames, but it doesnt need to process them all at once (gaming)..so it will render the frames differently to be more effective in 3d rendering, where it can render one thing at a time.. whereas a gaming GPU will render everything balls to the walls, as fast as it can. i

it will provide you with a higher fps, because that is what it was designed to do. a quadro will be better at rendering, because that is what it was designed to do.

maybe i should of used frames instead of FPS when trying to explain it?

pb,out.

 

Ah ok, now it makes sense - yeah you got us confused by sayin FPS instead of frames...so basically gaming GPUs prioritise framerate, and workstation GPUs prioritises graphical quality (- textures, surface subdivision etc etc)...yeah i guess you're right...

But then like I said before its the Quadro FX thats for 3D CG, not the Quadro NVS...

 

yea..i tried my best to choose the right words, but i guess i forgot about the most important one..lol

also, the FX is for 3d, the NVS is for 2d
