GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) vs Tesla M40 24GB Performance Spectrum

About G3D Mark

G3D Mark is a standard benchmark that measures graphics performance in real-world gaming scenarios. It simplifies comparing cards from different brands, where higher scores directly correlate with better fps and smoother gaming experiences.

GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) vs Tesla M40 24GB: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel)

2019

Why buy it

  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Better long-term bet: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 115W instead of 250W, a 135W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 5.3 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $2,000 MSRP).

Tesla M40 24GB

2015

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 5.3 vs 0 G3D/$ ($2,000 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • 2015 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • 117.4% higher power demand at 250W vs 115W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 0.3% in PassMark G3D (10,676 vs 10,641), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 12nm process instead of 28nm, 30 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2015. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Tesla M40 24GB makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, Tesla M40 24GB is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) has the stronger long-term case.
