NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M

NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M is a mobile workstation graphics card for high end laptops. It is based on the Geforce GTX 280M core (G92 core) and features 128 CUDA cores (unified shaders).

Compared to the Quadro FX 3700M, the Quadro FX 3800M features a higher clock speed and is manufacturered in 55nm (3700M - 65nm). The FX3800M is even higher clocked as the consumer GeForce GTX 280M and performs therefore better.

The Quadro FX series of cards are optimized for professional applications like CAD or DCC. Especially the OpenGL performance should be noticeable better than with consumer GeForce cards.

At the time of announcement (12-2009), the FX 3800M was the fastest workstation graphics card for laptops.
