GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel)

2019

Why buy it

✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅More future proof: Turing (2018−2022) on 12nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.
✅Draws 115W instead of 250W, a 135W reduction.

Trade-offs

❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 4.1 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $2,500 MSRP).

Tesla M40

2015

Why buy it

✅Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 4.1 vs 0 G3D/$ ($2,500 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Poor future-proofing: 2015-era hardware with 8 GB of VRAM is already a legacy-tier option for modern games.
❌117.4% higher power demand at 250W vs 115W.

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) better than Tesla M40?

Yes. GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 10,676 vs 10,220 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is a 2019 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Tesla M40 is a 2015 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2019 generation instead of 2015, better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 12nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is priced in an unclear MSRP range at an unclear MSRP versus $2,500 MSRP, and you are getting 4.5% higher G3D Mark. Tesla M40 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Tesla M40 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Tesla M40 is 2015 hardware with 8 GB of VRAM, 10,220 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
