GRID M6-8Q: specs and benchmarks

VS

Aggregate performance score

GRID M6-8Q provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at 9.26% of a leader's which is GeForce RTX 4090.

Summary

NVIDIA started GRID M6-8Q sales 30 August 2015. This is a Maxwell 2.0 architecture desktop card based on 28 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1.25 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 160.4 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a graphics card attached via PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 100 Watt.
