Aggregated performance score
Tesla C2070
2011
6 GB GDDR5
7.33
Summary
NVIDIA started Tesla C2070 sales 25 July 2011. This is a Fermi architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 6 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 2.99 GHz are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 143.4 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 248 mm. 1x 8-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 238 Watt.
It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 7.33% of a leader's which is NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.
