NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started Quadro FX 2800M sales 1 December 2009. This is a G9x architecture notebook card based on 55 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1000 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 64 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is card attached via MXM-B (3.0) interface. Power consumption is at 75 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 1.08% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

3DMark Vantage Performance

3DMark Vantage is an outdated DirectX 10 benchmark using 1280x1024 screen resolution. It taxes the graphics card with two scenes, one depicting a girl escaping some militarized base located within a sea cave, the other displaying a space fleet attack on a defenseless planet. It was discontinued in April 2017, and Time Spy benchmark is now recommended to be used instead.
