This is how T2000 Max-Q and A10G compete in popular games:

A10G is 159% faster in 1080p
A10G is 169% faster in 1440p
A10G is 161% faster in 4K

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	17.89	48.60
Recency	27 May 2019	12 April 2021
Maximum RAM amount	4 GB	12 GB
Chip lithography	12 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	40 Watt	150 Watt

T2000 Max-Q has 275% lower power consumption.

A10G, on the other hand, has a 171.7% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 1 year, a 200% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 50% more advanced lithography process.

The A10G is our recommended choice as it beats the Quadro T2000 Max-Q in performance tests.

Be aware that Quadro T2000 Max-Q is a mobile workstation card while A10G is a workstation one.
