NVIDIA GRID K280Q: specs and benchmarks
Aggregate performance score
GRID K280Q provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 7.37% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.
Summary
NVIDIA started GRID K280Q sales 28 June 2013 at a recommended price of $1,875. This is a Kepler architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 4 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.25 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 graphics card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 225 Watt.
