The GRID M10-8Q was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 18th, 2016. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM107 graphics processor, in its GM107-570-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. The GM107 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 148 mm² and 1,870 million transistors. It features 640 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR5 memory with the GRID M10-8Q, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1033 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1306 MHz, memory is running at 1300 MHz (5.2 Gbps effective). Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GRID M10-8Q draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 225 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. GRID M10-8Q is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution.
