The NVIDIA Quadro K5000 4GB GDDR5 PCIe Graphics Card from PNY Technologies takes advantage of NVIDIA Kepler architecture to dramatically accelerate professional applications. You get greater levels of interaction when designing with the most complex models, richer scene details and effects for content creation, and faster results when processing massive datasets. Plus, the Quadro K5000 features a wide range of innovative features. These include, SMX, a new streaming multi-processor engine, for increased per-clock throughput of key graphics operations, bindless textures enabling the GPU to reference textures directly in memory, and support for up to four displays for driving high resolution large-scale visualization solutions.
The Quadro K5000 comes equipped with 1,536 CUDA cores along with 4GB/256bit of GDDR5 memory for enhanced computational power. The variety of display connectors including both DVI-I Dual-Link and DVI-D Dual-Link reduce confusion when attempting to connect to a variety of displays. This PCI Express compatible graphics card also supports single precision computing performance of 2.1 teraflops and a max power consumption of 122W.
