NVIDIA GRID K260Q: specs and benchmarks
Aggregated performance score
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 7.62% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
NVIDIA started GRID K260Q sales 28 June 2013 at a recommended price of $937. This is a Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 2 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.
