Quadro 4000M vs Tesla M2070-Q: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

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

Quadro 4000M

2011

Why buy it

✅300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (2 GB vs 512 MB).
✅Draws 100W instead of 225W, a 125W reduction.
✅More future proof: Fermi (2010−2014) on 40nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌2011 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 0.2 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $5,489 MSRP).

Tesla M2070-Q

2011

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 0.2 vs 0 G3D/$ ($5,489 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 2 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌2011 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
❌125% higher power demand at 225W vs 100W.

Quick Answers
