NVIDIA GRID K120Q: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started GRID K120Q sales 2 July 2014 at a recommended price of $125 . This is a Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 512 MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1.78 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 28.51 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 130 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 0.76% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
