VCGRIDK2M-R2L-PB NVIDIA GRID K2 8GB GDDR5 160GT/s GPU

Density-Optimised Dual-GPU vGPU Accelerator Card for VDI with the VCGRIDK2M-R2L-PB

The VCGRIDK2M-R2L-PB is a dual-slot, passive-cooled PCIe GPU accelerator designed to enable shared graphics and vGPU profiles in rack servers where airflow is engineered at the chassis level. Built on the NVIDIA GRID K2 Kepler architecture, it targets predictable multi-user graphics delivery rather than single-workstation peak boost behavior, making it suitable for virtual desktop infrastructure and remote workstation fleets.

With dual GPUs and 8GB GDDR5 on a 256-bit memory interface, the VCGRIDK2M-R2L-PB balances frame-buffer capacity and memory bandwidth to sustain concurrent sessions under graphics and compute-assisted UI workloads. The PCIe 3.0 x16 interface provides the host connectivity needed for virtualized graphics scheduling and rapid context switching, while the dual-slot 267mm mechanical envelope aligns with enterprise server expansion layouts. A 225W TDP and 8-pin auxiliary power input require platform-level power planning, and the fanless design mandates server-grade front-to-back airflow for stable thermals at sustained duty cycles.

Why Choose the VCGRIDK2M-R2L-PB?

The VCGRIDK2M-R2L-PB offers an efficient density-to-performance profile for GPU virtualization by consolidating dual GPUs on one adapter, reducing PCIe slot consumption in multi-node VDI pods. It supports scalable rollouts where consistent session behavior, controlled thermal management, and predictable power draw are operational priorities for enterprise deployments.

NVIDIA engineers the GRID portfolio to integrate with modern data centre standards, focusing on reliability under continuous load, robust driver and virtualization ecosystem alignment, and clear platform requirements for airflow, power, and PCIe topology planning.

Key Applications:

• Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) with vGPU
• Remote workstation graphics acceleration
• Shared CAD and 3D visualization sessions
• GPU-accelerated application streaming
