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.

This is how Arc A750 and L40S compete in popular games:

L40S is 36% faster in 1080p
L40S is 36% faster in 1440p
L40S is 39% faster in 4K

Pros & cons summary

Performance score	31.08	43.32
Maximum RAM amount	8 GB	48 GB
Chip lithography	6 nm	5 nm
Power consumption (TDP)	225 Watt	300 Watt

Arc A750 has 33.3% lower power consumption.

L40S, on the other hand, has a 39.4% higher aggregate performance score, a 500% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 20% more advanced lithography process.

The L40S is our recommended choice as it beats the Arc A750 in performance tests.

Be aware that Arc A750 is a desktop card while L40S is a workstation one.
