NVIDIA GRID K500: specs and benchmarks

VS

Summary

NVIDIA started GRID K500 sales 2 July 2014 at a recommended price of $3,599. 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 5 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 160.0 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 267 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 225 Watt.

We have no data on GRID K500 benchmark results.
