NVIDIA Tesla S870: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started Tesla S870 sales 2 May 2007 at a recommended price of $11,999. This is a Tesla architecture desktop card based on 90 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 1536 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.6 GHz are supplied, and together with 384 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is dual-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 800 Watt.
