Nvidia GPU Types

[potatoproduction]

While browsing the nvidia website I saw that they had multiple GPU series. Can someone explain there propose and if there is a AMD counterpart.

The series I don't know are:

Tesla

Tegra

NVIDIA GRID

NVS

Legacy

Thank you for your time

Tegra is Nvidia's mobile chip platform. For example the Nvidia Shield TV uses a Tegra "X1".

uhm, most of those arnt series. nvidia grid is a service, tegra is mobile same with tesla. things like MAXWELL are nvidia architectures. the current series is the 900 series

If you're gaming, look at the 900-series (Maxwell).

tesla is for computing

tegra is mobileCP/GPU

grid is for cloud computing/gaming

business GPUs

old GPUs

Tesla GPUs are for GPU-accelerated computation machines like supercomputers.

Tegra is NVIDIA's mobile SoC line, competing with the ARM processors used in phones.

GRID is an NVIDIA project to stream games across the internet so you can get high graphics settings without having a powerful graphics card (i.e. in a laptop). These are just servers with a lot of regular graphics cards in them that do the work offsite and then send the completed frames to you over the internet instead of to a monitor.

NVS is their old mobile Quadro lineup.

Legacy is just another word for old/discontinued/obsolete.

Umh, you sure you used google correctly?

tesla - compute

tegra - tablet graphics (this is what the shield tablet runs on)

grid - their cloud gaming service

NVS - buisiness ("all it needs to do is drive monitors" kinda deal)

legacy - old stuff

Tesla isn't a mobile service. Tesla is an extremely high-end compute GPU.

my bad, completely forgot about those things.
