iGPU equivalent of Quadro FX 880m in W510

[Nanophys]

Hello everyone,

I have a Lenovo W510 that I've had for quite a few years now. It's been a great computer, but I'm getting to the point where I'd like a much more portable solution and would like to retire this computer to desktop status. My question is what iGPUs, if any, would be comparable to the Quadro 880M for gaming applications and for productivity (particularly, solidworks). It doesn't need to be a strict equivalence, I'm looking for ballpark here (especially given the different thermal constraints in thin form factors and very different workloads that games and solidworks are)

Ideally it'd be in an ultraportable form factor, but even if not that label I'm definitely trying to optimize for weight. I have yet to find a comparison website that does the comparison I'm hoping for and most reviews wouldn't make such a comparison, so whatever help you can provide would be fantastic!

Thanks for your help!

*Actually, mods, I just realized this may be better put in the Notebooks subforum. If you could move it I'd be much obliged!

hd4600 is over 4x as powerful in some games, so I'm fairly certain you can get any laptop over $400 and it'll be a huge increase in performance

The FX 880M is was a lower clocked Professional version of the GeForce 320M. The 5300 iGPU is roughly equivalent in performance and is available on the new Broadwell Core M SoCs. So if you don't need a lot of CPU performance, you can indeed get equivalent performance in any of the ultraportables on the market today. If you need more CPU performance, than even the base Intel 5500 iGPU will nearly double performance according to the synthetics.
