NVIDIA GRID K520 8GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Dual-GPU Graphics Card 5Gbps 256 Bits 900-12055-0020-000

Upgrade your virtual desktop infrastructure or GPU-accelerated server environment with the NVIDIA GRID K520 Dual-GPU Video Graphics Card, part number 900-12055-0020-000. This powerful card features two Kepler-based GPUs, delivering a combined 8GB of GDDR5 memory (4GB per GPU), a 256-bit memory interface, and a memory bandwidth of 5Gbps. Designed for PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, it provides high-throughput performance suited for virtualized workloads, cloud computing, and GPU pass-through environments.
With 1536 CUDA cores (768 per GPU), the GRID K520 is built to handle parallel processing and graphics virtualization with ease. It supports DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.4, enabling compatibility with a wide range of modern applications, although it is not intended for traditional gaming or direct display use. Instead, this card excels in headless server deployments, delivering remote graphics capabilities through NVIDIA GRID software. Its a perfect solution for businesses setting up virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), cloud gaming platforms, or GPU-based computation environments.
The card features a passive cooling system, intended for use in server chassis with dedicated airflow, and draws up to 225W TDP, powered by a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. It has no direct display outputs (no HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort), as it is designed for back-end GPU compute or virtualization workloads. The full-height, dual-slot form factor measures approximately 10.5 inches in length, and it requires a server or workstation system with adequate power and cooling.
This NVIDIA GRID K520 is RoHS compliant, compatible with Windows Server and Linux-based systems, and is ready to be integrated into environments where multi-user GPU performance, reliability, and virtualization are top priorities. Please note that this card requires NVIDIA GRID software licenses for full virtualization functionality and may need a compatible hypervisor setup such as VMware ESXi or Citrix XenServer.
Whether you're building a cost-effective VDI deployment or expanding your GPU-accelerated server, the NVIDIA GRID K520 delivers solid performance, scalability, and trusted NVIDIA reliability.
