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.

T600 is 4% faster in 1080p
A tie in 1440p
A tie in 4K

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	16.76	17.55
Recency	6 May 2021	10 November 2021
Chip lithography	12 nm	8 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	40 Watt	60 Watt

T600 has 50% lower power consumption.

RTX A500, on the other hand, has a 4.7% higher aggregate performance score, an age advantage of 6 months, and a 50% more advanced lithography process.

Given the minimal performance differences, no clear winner can be declared between T600 and RTX A500.
