Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. 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	17.37	37.32
Recency	27 May 2019	13 October 2022
Maximum RAM amount	4 GB	48 GB
Chip lithography	12 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	35 Watt	300 Watt

T1000 Max-Q has 757.1% lower power consumption.

L40S, on the other hand, has a 114.9% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 3 years, a 1100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 140% more advanced lithography process.

The L40S is our recommended choice as it beats the Quadro T1000 Max-Q in performance tests.

Be aware that Quadro T1000 Max-Q is a mobile workstation card while L40S is a desktop one.
