The used GT218 core is manufactured in 40nm and based on the desktop GTX 200 architecture. MPEG-1 is not supported but can be easily handled by every modern CPU.Īs the 315M supports CUDA, DirectX Compute 10.1, and OpenCL, the shaders of the graphics processor can be used for other tasks than rendering images (e.g. The used Video Processor 4 (VP4) is able to fully decode H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2, and also MPEG-4 ASP (DivX or xVID) in hardware to minimize CPU load. Therefore PureVideo HD to decode HD videos with the graphics card is supported. The card supports DirectX 10.1 and all the features of the G 210M. Therefore, the graphics card can not be recommended for gamers. Less demanding games like SIMS 3 run in medium details and resolutions fluently. Some demanding games like NFS Shift or GTA4 wont run fluently at all.

Modern 3D games like COD Modern Warfare 2 run only in low details and resolutions fluently. The performance of the 315M is similar to the GeForce 310M / G 210M and therefore located in the entry level class.

It is also based on the GT218 core that was introduced with the G 210M. The Nvidia GeForce 315M is an entry level graphics card for laptops and technically a sligthly lower clocked GeForce 310M. NVIDIA GeForce 315M ► remove from comparison
