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.

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	3.09	3.02
Recency	4 November 2015	16 June 2008
Maximum RAM amount	2 GB	1 GB
Chip lithography	28 nm	55 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	68 Watt	150 Watt

NVS 810 has a 2.3% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 7 years, a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount, a 96.4% more advanced lithography process, and 120.6% lower power consumption.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between NVS 810 and FireStream 9250.
