Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Display Connectors

Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	15.65	81.52
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	96 GB
Chip lithography	28 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	100 Watt	600 Watt

Tesla M6 has 500% lower power consumption.

RTX PRO 6000, on the other hand, has a 420.9% higher aggregate performance score, a 1100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 460% more advanced lithography process.

The RTX PRO 6000 is our recommended choice as it beats the Tesla M6 in performance tests.
