GRID 2.0 in turn builds off of what NVIDIA has accomplished so far with GRID, further expanding the number of concurrent users and performance of GRID while also introducing some new features that didn’t make the cut for GRID 1.0.Furthermore, launching alongside GRID 2.0 are new Maxwell based Tesla cards. While the launch of these cards is something of a low-key event – NVIDIA is opting to focus on GRID as opposed to the hardware – some of the new GRID 2.0 functionality goes hand-in-hand with the new hardware, so this is where we’ll start.Tesla M60 & Tesla M6When NVIDIA launched the first version of the GRID (née VGX) ecosystem in 2012, they launched a pair of cards alongside it, the K1 and K2. Based around NVIDIA’s Kepler GK107 and GK104 GPUs respectively, these cards have been the backbone of
