Summary
NVIDIA started GRID M40 sales 18 May 2016. This is a Maxwell architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.2 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 50 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at
of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
