NVS 810 vs Quadro M500M Performance Spectrum

About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

NVS 810 vs Quadro M500M: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

NVS 810

2015

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 1.7 vs 0 G3D/$ ($700 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (4 GB vs 2 GB).

Trade-offs

  • 2015 hardware with 4 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • 126.7% higher power demand at 68W vs 30W.

Quadro M500M

2016

Why buy it

  • Draws 30W instead of 68W, a 38W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 4 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2016 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 1.7 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $700 MSRP).
