GRID K520 for Virtual Desktops

The NVIDIA GRID K520 is a GPU built for virtualised graphics workloads. It delivers hardware-accelerated rendering to multiple remote sessions across a network. The board targets IT teams deploying VDI or cloud gaming platforms where consistent frame delivery matters more than local display output.

Suits Multi-User GPU Sharing, Not Single-User Gaming

This card fits administrators who need to partition GPU resources among many concurrent users. It works in dense server chassis that can supply a full-length PCIe Gen 3 x16 slot and adequate airflow. Gamers, content creators or workstation users seeking direct monitor output should choose a consumer or Quadro model instead.

8 GB GDDR5 Frame Buffer for Concurrent Sessions

The 8 GB GDDR5 memory pool supports several simultaneous virtual desktops at 1080p resolution with moderate 3D demand. Performance scales with the hypervisor’s vGPU profile configuration. Heavy CAD, simulation or high-refresh gaming workloads will exhaust the frame buffer and compute slices quickly.

Questions about this item

Does the K520 fit in a standard full-height PCIe x16 slot?

The card uses a PCIe Gen 3 x16 interface and measures 11.000 length by 5.000 width by 2.000 height, so it fits a standard full-height x16 slot.

What power connectors does the K520 need?

The board requires two 8-pin PCIe power connectors from the PSU.

Is the 8 GB GDDR5 memory enough for multi-user virtual desktops?

The 8 GB frame buffer supports multiple concurrent vGPU profiles for typical knowledge-worker workloads.
