Quadro vs Geforce?
I have been examining some laptops and desktops for After Effects since a couple of days. There is something i don’t understand about Quadro vs Geforce issue:
For example a 2GB Nvidia Quadro4000 graphichs card (desktop), which is mainly produced for 3d proffesionals, has 256 Cuda cores and 89.6 gb/s of memory bandwith whereas a 4GB Geforce GTX675MX (laptop) – which is mainly produced for gamers- has 960 Cuda cores and a 115.2 gb/s of memory bandwith. Doesn’t it make the mentioned Geforce card a better choice for After Effects? More Cuda cores doesn’t mean better?
Lastly, I came upon this laptop and i wonder if this is good enough to work smoothly in After Effects and some other 3d softwares like C4D or 3ds Max :
İ7-3630QM Processor
16gb Ram ddr3 1600 mhz (16gb max)
2 x 128 GB SSD Super Raid (Raid Mode: Raid 0) + 750GB Sata 7200 rpm

The GeForce cards are often an excellent choice if what you’re looking for is good CUDA performance, especially good CUDA performance for the price.
There’s a great thread here on the COW in which Juan Salvo posts a chart showing performance for various cards:

It is interesting that some GTX500 series with lesser cuda cores outperform 600 series.

Memory and bandwidth are also factors in performance.

There was a major change in architecture between the 500 series (Fermi) and the 600 series (Kepler). The CUDA core counts are not directly comparable.
