    The Dell M65 laptop has one of the Quadro cards and they supposedly have GeForce equivalents, being built on the same architecture or something, so what is this one's equal?

    according to meaker's guide, it is equivalent to the 7300go.

    I think the 110M is equivalent to the 7300Go, that 350M is about equivalent to a 7600Go I think.

    110M ==> 7300
    120M ==> 7400
    350M ==> 7600

    What is "meaker's guide" and how reliable is it? If it's equivalent to a 7600go I might just have to consider it, but 7300go is pretty sad.

    i thought so too....but one piece of evidence that suggests that the 350m is closer to the 7300 is that the memory interface is only 64-bit for the 350m, while the 7600go has a memory interface of 128-bit.

    The only problem with that is then the 120M would beat out the 350M...that's not right when they are the same series of GPUs...is it? Marketing sometimes doesn't make sense though so I don't know :confused:!

    But the 64-bit bandwidth would impact gaming on it...you can probably forget AA and AF.

    That 350M might actually be just a little better than a 7400 (120M) then...probably.

    The 350M is nowhere near Go7600. It is approximately equal to a 7300 or 7400 from all indications. It is not a gaming card.

    Quadro NVS 120m based on the Go 7400 is a business card (optimized for 2D business apps)

    Quadro FX 350m based on the Go 7300 is a entry-level professional card (optimized for 3D professional apps)

    exactly... and it's never been near...

    NVS 110M = 7300
    NVS 120M = 7400
    NVS 300M = 7600
    NVS 510M = 7950

    FX 350M = 7400
    FX 1500M = 7900GS
    FX 2500M = 7900GTX
    FX 3500M = 7950GTX


    You have to remember that the 110M is in the NVS series, the 350M is in the FX series.

    The 350M is basically a 120M with higher memory speed, but slightly slower clock speed (based on what I read).

    Be sure to check the amount of dedicated RAM -- some of the 110Ms have only 64, whereas others have 128. Same goes for the 120M -- some have 128, some have 256 dedicated.

    I know this thread is old, but I'm sure others have similar questions.
