Pros & cons summary

Performance score	49.04	4.30
Recency	6 April 2017	18 May 2016
Maximum RAM amount	12 GB	8 GB
Chip lithography	16 nm	28 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	250 Watt	50 Watt

TITAN Xp has a 1040.5% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 10 months, a 50% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 75% more advanced lithography process.

GRID M40, on the other hand, has 400% lower power consumption.

The TITAN Xp is our recommended choice as it beats the GRID M40 in performance tests.

Be aware that TITAN Xp is a desktop card while GRID M40 is a workstation one.
