I'm buying a new laptop what is the best graphics card in NVIDIA for second life? I have a preconfigured laptop with a 310M Optimus graphics card - within the 300 series, what should i look for?  or is 8000 better? very confuzzled!

According to someone that should know    -- NVIDIA GTX 570 !

You could start by searching for cards that will physically fit inside of your laptop. Wikipedia is an excellent resouce to review and compare cards. From what little I read, the 300 series is newer (2009) but it is stated that the 300 series is a make-over of the 200 series. The 8000 series is a 2007 release but looked like a better card series imo.

 

The card I would recommend would only fit in a desk top.

Within the 300 series I believe the highest performance card was the GTX 385.  That card is no longer in production but I'm sure you can find them online..............possibly in retail stores too.

 

Edit:

I just did a Google search and the highest performance card in the 300 series for laptops was the GTS 360M

The way I read the OP it's a question about what card within the 300 series. That's an older series than the 570. Maybe I am wrong.
