NVIDIA GRID K160Q: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started GRID K160Q sales 28 June 2013 at a recommended price of $125. This is a Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB 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 1.62% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
