Hi guys,

I know these cards are make for different purpose, I just wonder the Quadro 1000M is about 18 months old and the 680M is relatively new.

A Laptop with the Quadro 1000M is cost about $1500 to $2500 depend on the other parts and the laptop with 680M is about $1300 to $2000.
How those 680M laptop run on the Cads programs compare to the 1000M? If a person want to work on Auto Cad and also play a little games, won't he better buy the 680M laptops? as it will play games nicely and maybe not too bad to run the Cad programs? Any one has any experience comparing them?

Thank you.
 
It would depend on the application. For those that fully utilise GPGPU and Cuda cores, the 1000M will blow the 680 away

Right there. A gaming GPU and CAD GPU are completely different. Way different drivers, and how the program uses the cores.
 
Have any one do any compare with them on the CAD program? Why I ask is that the 1000M is lower mid range older card and the 680M is new high end card. is it really that bad on the CAD programs for the 680M?

Thanks.
 
I am by no means an expert here but I would think that the 680 would be better at CAD than the 1000M would be at gaming.

What I really want to know is how far behind the 680M compare to the 1000M on CAD programs and 3D rendering. I know 1000M is bad for gaming.

Thanks
 
from what i see specs wise even without the drivers the 680m should be plenty powerful, twice the bus with (according to notebook check) over 1300 cores vs only 96 cores (not sure if that's right when the 675m has like 384 which is the same as the 560m) and higher clocks, so it should still do the same job or better thinking about it, but it's entirely possible the 1000m will still be better.
