The dictionary form + も behaves quite different from te-form + も.

Firstly, it is relatively more bookish. I don't mean you can't use it for a casual topic, but you have to keep the sentence that contains this conjunction in a detached style, like academic or journalistic writing. You can't use it with final particles (ね/よ etc.). Using it in polite ending (です/ます etc.) sentence is not prohibited, but ですが or でしたが would be more suitable.

Secondly, the focus is different.

• X-ても Y: Y even (though) X
  an expression that implies X was what had near-highest expectancy not to end with Y, but still Y.
• X-るも Y: X, only to Y
  describes that the result Y is disappointing from the standpoint of someone did X. You can take it as a nuanced version of -けど and -が "but". X always in dictionary form even if the event is past.
