NVIDIA Quadro K1200 4GB GDDR5 workstation
Delivering 27.65 FP32 TFLOPS from its Maxwell-based Quadro K1200 chip, this single-slot card fits into compact workstations while driving four native 4K displays at 60Hz through its DisplayPort 1.2 outputs. Its 4GB GDDR5 memory with 504 GB/s bandwidth handles complex 3D models, and the low-profile, 298mm design suits space-constrained chassis. This GPU is best for CAD designers and engineers needing certified multi-display support in small form factor systems.
