Low-profile workstation GPU for multi-display desks

The PNY NVS 315 fits a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot in a low-profile bracket. It uses an NVIDIA GPU with 48 CUDA cores and 1GB of DDR3 memory across a 64-bit bus. DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.3 support cover standard business applications. The card draws cooling from an onboard fan.

DMS-59 adapter kit drives up to eight monitors

A single DMS-59 connector ships with breakout cables for two DVI-I SL, VGA or DisplayPort screens per port. Digital output reaches 2560 x 1600 on DisplayPort and 1920 x 1200 on DVI, while analog peaks at 2048 x 1536 at 85 Hz. The bundle includes brackets, an installation disc and documentation for rapid deployment.

Suits IT fleets needing many legacy screens.

Buyers running Windows 8, 7, Vista, Linux or Solaris with 2GB system memory and a free PCIe x16 slot can add dense display walls. The 64-bit DDR3 frame buffer and 48-core GPU cannot handle modern CAD, rendering or compute tasks. Teams requiring higher 3D throughput should consider cards with wider memory buses and more cores.

Questions about this item

Will the on-board fan on the NVS 315 need cleaning or replacement after long-term use?

The card uses an active fan cooler; dust build-up on the heatsink fins is the main maintenance item and the fan can be replaced if it becomes noisy or fails.

What limits sustained performance first on the NVS 315 — the 48 CUDA cores or the 64-bit DDR3 memory bus?

The 64-bit DDR3 interface caps memory bandwidth, so the memory subsystem typically becomes the bottleneck before the 48 CUDA cores saturate.

How much heat and noise does the NVS 315 produce when driving two displays all day?

The low-profile card draws modest power and its single fan runs quietly; case airflow handles the heat without noticeable noise in typical office chassis.
