Therefore, only low-demanding games should run fluently. For 3D games the Quadro M500M should be similar to the GeForce 930M. The performance should be slightly below the Quadro K620M (same chip, but slightly more memory bandwidth) and therefore positioned in the entry-level of dedicated graphics chips. GM108 supports DirectX 11.2 (feature level 11.0 only) as well as DirectX 12. The larger size can reduce some of the memory traffic to allow for a relatively narrow memory interface without significantly hurting performance. Smaller Streaming Multiprocessors (SMM) with only 128 ALUs (Kepler: 192) and an optimized scheduler should lead to better utilization of the shaders. Nvidia promises that a Maxwell SMM with 128 ALUs can offer 90% of the performance of a Kepler SMX with 192 ALUs. GM108 features 3 SMMs and thus 384 shader cores, 24 TMUs and 8 ROPs (64-bit interface).Īnother optimization is the massively enlarged L2 cache. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better than with GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.Ĭompared to Kepler, Maxwell has been optimized in several details to increase power efficiency.

The Quadro series offers certified drivers that are optimized for stability and performance in professional applications like CAD or DCC. Therefore, it is also similar to the consumer GeForce 930M. The Quadro M500M is the successor to the Quadro K620M which is also based on the Maxwell GM108 but lists a higher memory bandwidth of 16 vs. It is a Maxwell-based GPU built on the GM108 chip with 384 shader cores and manufactured in 28 nm by TSMC. The Nvidia Quadro M500M is a DirectX 12 (FL 11_0) and OpenGL 4.5-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations. NVIDIA Quadro M500M ► remove from comparison Therefore, the card is suited for 15-inch notebooks and greater. The power consumption of the Quadro M1000M is rated for a 40 Watt TGP including the board and memory components, which is 5 Watt lower than the K1100M.
Using CUDA (Compute Capability 5.0) or OpenCL 1.2, the cores of the Quadro M1000M can be used for general calculations. It should be slower than the GTX 950M in 3D gaming due to the lower shader count, but should easily outperform the old Quadro K1100M. However, it is a lower mid-range model from the mobile Quadro line in 2015. OpenGL performance, for example, should be significantly better compared to GeForce graphics cards of similar specifications.Īs the exact clock speed of the M1000M is still not known, we can only speculate on the performance of the card. The M1000M typically comes with 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM clocked at 1250 MHz (5000 MHz effective at 80 GB/s compared to 44.8 GB/s on the K1100M).

The Geforce GTX 950M, for example, uses the full 640 shader cores. The Quadro M1000M is built for the Intel Skylake generation as the successor to the Kepler-based Quadro K1100M. Therefore, the GPU is not similar to any current consumer card. It is a 1st generation Maxwell-based GPU built on the GM107 architecture with 512 of the 640 shader cores activated. The 28nm NVIDIA Quadro M1000M is a mid-range DirectX 12 (FL 11_0) and OpenGL 4.5-compatible graphics card for mobile workstations. NVIDIA Quadro M1000M ► remove from comparison
