GeForce 300M Serie

Despite the generational leap in the name, the new notebook graphics cards are based on existing 40nm chips, almost all of the 200M series. A new one – based on Fermi – Graphics not be found not in the lineup.

The new cards (ordered by performance, with links) to our graphics comparison

Performance Class

Nvidia GeForce 360M GTS: GTS 260M with probably higher chip clock speeds (413 compared to 396 gigaflops of GTS 260M), 96 cores, 128-bit bus, GDDR5 support

Nvidia GeForce GTS 350M: According to Nvidia with the same performance as the GTS 250M (possibly just renamed) 96 cores, 360 gigaflops, GDDR5 – although most GTS250M were equipped with slower DDR3

Mid

Nvidia GeForce 335M GT: Probably the most interesting chip of the 300M series, since it provides, according to Nvidia website and 72 shader that is like no 200M chip. With 233 gigaflops performance is not particularly exhilarating and you have to dispense with GDDR5.

Nvidia GeForce 330M GT: Very similar to the GeForce 240M, possibly minimally higher clocked. 48 cores, 182 gigaflops

Nvidia GeForce 325M GT: Slower clocked GeForce GT 330M, replacement for the GT 230M?

Low-end

Nvidia GeForce 310M: More or less renamed Geforce G210M (72 versus 73 gigaflops), 16 cores, 64 bit memory bus

Nvidia GeForce 305M: Slower clocked GeForcr 310M with similar computing power as the integrated 9400M / ION chipset graphics. Thanks to dedicated memory (64 bit), but a little faster. 16 cores

All cards should be DirectX 10.1 (even though Nvidia support on the home page currently specifies only DirectX 10) and the “usual” features like PureVideo HD (HD video acceleration), and if strong CUDA PhysX Genung (only GTS Series makes sense).

In order to compare the performance of the cards we have integrated the new graphics to our already extensive graphics comparison (comparison 3DMark Benchmark and games list).
