Summary
About the NVIDIA GRID K1 GPU
The NVIDIA GRID K1 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q1 2013 with a MSRP of $4,140. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK107) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GRID K1 has 4 GB of DDR3 memory, with a 891 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 28.51 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GRID K1 includes 192 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 850 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 16 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GRID K1 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 300 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 130 W.
About the NVIDIA GRID K2 GPU
The NVIDIA GRID K2 is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q2 2013 with a MSRP of $5,199. It is built on the Kepler GPU microarchitecture (codename GK104) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.
Memory
The GRID K2 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, with a 1,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 160 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GRID K2 includes 1,536 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 745 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 32 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The GRID K2 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 550 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 225 W.
