Grid Virtual GPU

The NVIDIA Grid K520 is a workstation graphics card built for virtualised desktop infrastructure. It delivers hardware-accelerated GPU resources to multiple users through NVIDIA Grid technology. The card targets IT departments deploying virtual workstations or cloud gaming instances.

8GB GDDR5 Frame Buffer

Eight gigabytes of GDDR5 memory provide the frame buffer capacity that determines how many concurrent virtual desktops or game streams the card can support. Memory bandwidth and capacity are the primary sizing factors for Grid density planning. Workloads that exceed this limit will swap to system memory and lose performance.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 Installation

The card installs in a standard PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and draws power from the slot alone. No low-profile bracket is included so full-height chassis are required. Driver configuration for vGPU profiles is the common stumbling block; incorrect profile selection prevents virtual machines from accessing the GPU.
