ofelas Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 NO LONGER AVAILABLE I've got a spare (new & unused) 128MB ATI Radeon Mobility Pro Turbo (M10) lying around. I use a similar card in my M60 (I put the original Quadro FX Go 700 into an 8600) & am very happy with the M10. The spare card is new, not refurbished, carries a 1 year warranty. I'd like to swap my new (spare) M10 for a Quadro FX Go 1000 to see whether the FX 1000 is appreciably better than the FX Go 700, as I (unfortunately) need TWO certified cards for our CAD laptops. If anyone's interested, let me know - overnighting the cards is a must, as none of the systems I own can be down for over a day. I'm absolutely NOT interested in selling the M10 or making money out of this - will only do a trade with someone who wants the gaming oriented M10 in their Precision M60 -I'll be keeping an M10 in my M60 as well US & Canada preferred, as overnight costs are reasonable ($20 each for FedEx Overnight incl. insurance). I'll also consider anyone else's offer from Europe, Australasia etc. I'll wait a week for anyone to reply, after which I'll bite the bullet & buy two FX Go 1000s from Dell. Regards.

Guest Anders Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 How does the 1000 bench against the 700 ? - Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofelas Posted April 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 No idea yet...but should be able to post comparisions sometime this weekend/early next week as I have a couple Quadro FX Go1000s on their way :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Ofelas, Is there anything your machine hasn't got ? You have a machine that most of us could only dream of (I could sell the house I suppose) We look forward to some benchies with your new Quadros. Pieter.

ofelas Posted April 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Pieter as you may remember I gave up using the Quadro 700 so i could get the performance benefits of the Radeon Mobility 9600...but after using your drivers the nv31GL was within 1% & 5% in 3DMark2001SE & 3DMark2003 respectively, and I found myself keeping the Quadro 700 in my M60 most of the time, as i was having too much fun experimenting with this board's suggestions... Now that the FX Go1000s are on the FedEx truck, I do NOT see myself using the ATI 9600 Pro Turbo again...it will go back into the Inspiron 8600 it came from, and the M60 will get one NV36GL; the second NV36GL will go into the Latitude D800, and the original NV31GL will sit around for a while i guess. Once again, THANKS to yourself, "dontknow" & "LSudlow" for bringing me back to the NVidia fold :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ofelas Posted April 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 By the way folks, this (refurbished) card retails from Dell for $369.00 + shipping + 90 day warranty + 2 week turnaround... I'll sell mine for $340.00 shipped the same day payment is made; it's a new system card with a 3 year warranty (I'll keep the one that I used for a couple weeks as a spare). This would make the most sense to someone who specifically needs the Professional 3D/OpenGL/CAD capabilities of the Quadro series cards (nv31GL chipset); otherwise, the FX Go5650 is based on the same chipset (nv31) & is cheaper, and offers similar general purpose performance.

I have a I8600 with 64MB FX5200 Go. I've been looking to improve graphics memory (and speed) I do OPenGL programming myself, but also play games. I recently ordered a 128MB FX5650 Go from Dell, but I ssuspect they may not even be able to find one to sell me, and it was $229. After that, I've seen the Quadro FX 1000 Go on EBay, for as low as $169. From what I've garthered, OpenGL and CAD performance should be better on the 1000 vs. the 5650. But I'm wondering about the game performance? I know these chips (the 5650 and Quadro 700 anyway) are very similiar, and software can turn one nearly into the other. I also gather the 1000 is faster than the 700. Does that mean the 1000 should be better than the 5650 at pretty much everything? I know this is an old thread, Thanks inadvance for any info you can provide. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
