NVIDIA started GRID M40 sales 18 May 2016. This is a Maxwell architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.3 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a dual-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 50 Watt.
