Non-gaming benchmark results comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
Combined synthetic benchmark score
This is our combined benchmark score. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
Octane Render OctaneBench
This is a special benchmark measuring graphics card performance in OctaneRender, which is a realistic GPU rendering engine by OTOY Inc., available either as a standalone program, or as a plugin for 3DS Max, Cinema 4D and many other apps. It renders four different static scenes, then compares render times with a reference GPU which is currently GeForce GTX 980. This benchmark has nothing to do with gaming and is aimed at professional 3D graphics artists.

Pros & cons summary
| Performance score | 10.34 | 9.51 |
| Recency | 8 April 2016 | 25 July 2011 |
| Maximum RAM amount | 4 GB | 6 GB |
| Chip lithography | 28 nm | 40 nm |
| Power consumption (TDP) | 75 Watt | 250 Watt |
Quadro M2000 has a 8.7% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 4 years, a 42.9% more advanced lithography process, and 233.3% lower power consumption.
Tesla M2090, on the other hand, has a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount.
Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between Quadro M2000 and Tesla M2090.
