    HI,

    browsing the clevo download site I noticed they had drivers for the nVIDIA Quadro 5010M and GTX580 available - no I think the GTX580 is an update on the GTX485, but what is the nVIDIA Quadro 5010M and would it be better than the 580? (if you want to do non-game stuff)

    the only notes i found say it is workstation equivalent of 480m.
    It's the fastest mobile workstation GPU for nvidia, successor/update of the 5000.

    The Quadro workstation GPU are for CAD, visualization, professional apps like that.
    What apps are most important for you?

    well I am learning GPGPU programming, so CUDA and OpenCL. I don't know if the Quadro line has any advantages for that (better double precision support?)

    btw apparently some shops have it listed:

    4GB GDDR5 NVIDIA Quadro 5010M; N12E-Q5; 384 CUDA Cores; PhysX; OpenGL 4.0; DX11; DVI-DL; MXM 3.0b; 100W [$2645] :eek:

    (from the eurocom website....)

    Yes, workstation GPUs are optimized for GPGPU and CAD based stuff. They are more for professionals than consumers. Consumer GPUs are optimized for speed.

    Yea we can also do the Quadro 5010M, and yes its right in that price range.. aka EXPENSIVE, and it has its own cooler as it has to cool all that memory etc. If you do high precision work and want the best, it is the best.

    anyone have pictures of quadro 5010m?
    btw maybe can do crysis very high 1920*1080 16ssaa=7680*4320 with its massive 4gb vram(2gb can only do medium at 7680*4320)

    probably too expensive for me :D
    anyway supposedly it has "fast double precision," but it is not entirely clear what that means (faster than 485M?)...you have not by any chance run a benchmark on this card (has it even been released??), e.g. the CUDA Nbody example with double precision?

    Vram seems not the only problem.
    It may need more shaders and rops @ higher speed.
