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.

FireStream 9270 1341

UHD Graphics 2151

Gaming performance

Let's see how good the compared graphics cards are for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	3.48	5.57
Recency	13 November 2008	11 January 2021
Chip lithography	55 nm	10 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	160 Watt	10 Watt

UHD Graphics has a 60.1% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 12 years, a 450% more advanced lithography process, and 1500% lower power consumption.

The UHD Graphics is our recommended choice as it beats the FireStream 9270 in performance tests.

Be aware that FireStream 9270 is a workstation graphics card while UHD Graphics is a desktop one.
