It remains to be seen how Microsoft deploys Shader Model 6.0. In addition, Shader Model 6.0 claims to provide the right performance to cope with API level features such as tiled resources (mega-textures). Since Shader Model 6.0 supports HLSL code from v5.0 upwards, it should also benefit existing DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 apps, while relegating older apps to the then legacy Shader Model 5.0 pathway. Shader Model 6.0, on the other hand, dedicates compiling to Clang HLSL compiler, and optimization to multiple LLVM passes. The outgoing Shader Model 5.0, which is featured on DirectX 11 and DirectX 12, relies on FXC, an offline shader compiler, to both compile and optimize HLSL shader code, supporting HLSL v1.4 to v5.1 code. Shader Model 6.0 provides a more optimized pathway for shader code to make its way to the metal (GPU, hardware). This succeeds Shader Model 5.0, which remained largely unchanged since the introduction of DirectX 11.0 in 2009.

GRID K520 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 745 MHz, memory is running at 1250 MHz (5 Gbps effective).īeing a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA GRID K520 draws power from 1x 8-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 225 W maximum.
NVIDIA has paired 8 GB GDDR5 memory with the GRID K520, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface per GPU (each GPU manages 4,096 MB). It features 1536 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, per GPU. GRID K520 combines two graphics processors to increase performance.
The GK104 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 294 mm² and 3,540 million transistors. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GK104 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 12. The GRID K520 was an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on July 23rd, 2013.
