Quadro FX 1800M vs Radeon HD 7660G: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Quadro FX 1800M

2008

Why buy it

  • 49.2% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (1 GB vs 512 MB).

Trade-offs

  • 2008 hardware with 1 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 9.6 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $50 MSRP).
  • 320% higher power demand at 189W vs 45W.

Radeon HD 7660G

2012

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 9.6 vs 0 G3D/$ ($50 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • Draws 45W instead of 189W, a 144W reduction.
  • More future proof: TeraScale 2 (2009−2015) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Quadro FX 1800M across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 1 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • 2012 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
