Entry-level workstation GPU for CAD and 3D modelling

The PNY Quadro K420 is a new workstation graphics card built on NVIDIA Kepler architecture with 192 CUDA cores. It targets professionals who need ISV-certified stability for AutoCAD, SolidWorks or Adobe Creative Suite. The single-slot, low-profile form factor fits compact chassis while drawing only 41W.

Verify PCIe x16 slot and display connectors before

Your motherboard must provide a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. The card requires no external power connector. Outputs are one DVI-I and one DisplayPort 1.2; adapters are needed for HDMI or VGA monitors. Multi-stream support on the DisplayPort can drive additional screens from that single port.

Single-slot cooler and compact board simplify

The active fan cooler occupies one slot and the board measures 6.30 inches by 2.71 inches, leaving room for adjacent cards. With 2GB DDR3 on a 128-bit interface and 29 GB/s bandwidth, it handles moderately complex models. 4K at 3840 x 2160 and 60Hz with 30-bit colour is supported on the DisplayPort.
