NVIDIA GRID K240Q: specs and benchmarks
- Interface PCIe 3.0 x16
- Core clock speed 745 MHz
- Max video memory 1024 MB
- Memory type GDDR5
- Memory clock speed 5000 MHz
- Maximum resolution
Summary
NVIDIA started GRID K240Q sales 28 June 2013 at a recommended price of $469. This is Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 160.0 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 225 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at
of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti.

Overall score
This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
- Passmark
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
Game benchmarks
Let's see how good GRID K240Q is for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in frames per second. Comparisons with game system requirements are included, but remember that sometimes official requirements may reflect reality inaccurately.
