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	32.80	37.33
Maximum RAM amount	24 GB	48 GB
Chip lithography	12 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	260 Watt	300 Watt

Tesla T10 has 15.4% lower power consumption.

L40S, on the other hand, has a 13.8% higher aggregate performance score, a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 140% more advanced lithography process.

The L40S is our recommended choice as it beats the Tesla T10 in performance tests.

Be aware that Tesla T10 is a workstation graphics card while L40S is a desktop one.
