NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M vs NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M

NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M

► remove from comparison NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M

NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M is the version of 7900 GS video card for notebooks, which is optimized for CAD and professional 3D-applications. Technically, it has the same or similar chip (G71 architecture), but with other Bios and support for professional drivers.

The gaming performance is clearly worse than the 7900 GS (because of the application optimizing). Nonetheless, the most modded drivers can be used, so the Quadro FX 1500M is more a 7900 GS (for the operating system).

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M

► remove from comparison

The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M is a business entry-level graphics card for laptop. It is based on the GeForce 8500M GT consumer graphics card and designed for the business sector providing enhanced compatibility and stability. Regarding performance it should be comparable to a 8400M GT, but, might rate a little lower, because of the drivers that emphasize on stability.  Therefore, the NVS 140M provides only entry-level 3D performance.
